Overview

Venture creation, innovation management, corporate venturing and the startup ecosystem — for founders and innovation leads in the region's growth economy. Imperial University in Cairo delivers this award fully online across the Arab region. There is no campus. English is the administrative language of the award; Arabic-medium tracks require additional language evidence. Assessment is identity-checked. This is an academic Master's award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator. You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides. MSc Entrepreneurship & Innovation is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 4 Semesters (2 Years), and the credit total is 36. Students move from Principles of Management & Leadership through Principles of Management & Leadership; Managerial Economics; Financial & Managerial Accounting; Marketing Management; Corporate Finance & Financial Management; Organisational Behaviour & HR Management, and finish on Strategic Consulting Capstone. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students diagnose one organisation and carry a decision through to a recommendation. Reading is a case, a short financial extract, and a stakeholder note. The artefact a marker expects is a consulting brief a manager could use. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Set direction with a defensible strategy and connect it to an operating plan Read the numbers — accounting, finance, unit economics — well enough to challenge them Lead people and change through ambiguity Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

The programme carries 36 credits across four assessed modules. Delivery is tuition-free aside from the examination fee. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with Imperial University in Cairo awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.

ALX71801	Principles of Management & Leadership Principles of Management & Leadership (ALX71801) is a 3-credit course on MSc Entrepreneurship & Innovation, with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can diagnose one organisation and carry a decision through to a recommendation, using Principles of Management & Leadership as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a case, a short financial extract, and a stakeholder note. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a consulting brief a manager could use. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.

Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a brief, a channel note, and a measurement plan. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a campaign or content recommendation with audience, channel, and measure. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit.
