Drive social change through innovative ventures that make a positive impact on society.
This field is for students seeking to lead social change in a 21st-century context with skills focused on social entrepreneurship and community development.
You'll undertake theoretical and applied courses to understand social entrepreneurship through social enterprise, and work in teams on social issues of your choosing to build financially self-sustaining ventures designed for social impact. Importantly, you'll combine this enterprise-level focus with an understanding of how to build communities.
Career possibilities
Postgraduate study can take you anywhere. Here are some of the careers you could be on your way to:
- Social entrepreneur
- Corporate social responsibility and sustainability consultant
- Public policy adviser
- Community engagement coordinator
I was able to customise my course load based on my undergraduate study to focus on specific courses. You can request to take a course outside of the curriculum if it aligns with your major, interests, or future career path.
I was attracted to UQ’s curriculum that focuses heavily on, not just instructing and creating future leaders of enterprise, but preparing future entrepreneurs who can generate positive change for their industries and societies at large. I’ve been able to exercise my networking and relationship-building skills, as well as feel more confident in pursuing my interests and ideas.
The Master of Entrepreneurship and Innovation is a great mix between theory and practices. In a world like the one where we live, theory isn't enough, so having the chance to apply what I was learning while studying was unique.
