Master of
Entrepreneurship

The University of Melbourne’s Master of Entrepreneurship has been redesigned to allow students to choose an area of interest, whether that is entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship.

The standard Master of Entrepreneurship (100 points) is for students with some foundational knowledge, while the Master of Entrepreneurship (Enhanced, 150 points) consists of additional foundational subjects for students with less experience in the area. There is also a Graduate Certificate for students looking to build their foundational knowledge of entrepreneurship starting mid-2022.

The program is co-delivered by the University of Melbourne and Wade Institute of Entrepreneurship.

The University of Melbourne is the registered provider of the Master of Entrepreneurship CRICOS provider code: 00116K
