Responsible Entrepreneurship - Blended

The aim of the MBus in Responsible Entrepreneurship is to help you become the entrepreneurial changemakers of the future. By participating in this programme, you will learn important skills for responsible new venture creation in areas linked to the UN SDGs. Through the programme, you can choose to create a business that is responsible, sustainable and of benefit to society OR develop the relevant entrepreneurial and responsibility awareness skills to work in a sustainability/responsibility role within an existing business. Either way, you will be addressing responsibility challenges in a meaningful way and making an impact on the world.



This programme will be co-delivered in blended mode by the project partnership which, led by Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT), comprises Atlantic Technological University (ATU), Munster Technological University (MTU), Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), and University College Cork (UCC).
