Cranfield has placed an increasing emphasis on entrepreneurship across the University, with activities such as Venture Day, Wednesday Business: Enterprise Talks and StartUp Weekend being led by the Bettany Centre for Entrepreneurship, under Dr Shai Vyakarnam.
StartUp Weekend provides a safe space for fledgling business ideas to be developed and pitched to experienced mentors, with the aim of finding the most viable business opportunities.
Participation at the weekend is open to PhD, MSc and MBA students, as well as potential start-up companies from outside the University, where they are encouraged to assess issues such as technology-readiness, cash flow and market need.
Dr Andrew Angus, Director of Cranfield School of Management’s MBA programme, said: “We are delighted that the Cranfield MBA continues to go from strength-to-strength and remains one of the leading programmes of its type in the world. Today’s ranking reflects the emphasis that we have placed on entrepreneurship over the last few years, with entrepreneurship now being a key component of the MBA programme.”
