The Innovation and Enterprise MRes is a pre-doctoral training programme designed to provide a critical, research led approach to the study of aspects of innovation and enterprise, and the role of business innovation, creativity, and knowledge management within organisations, together with training in the key research skills appropriate for Doctoral level study. Alongside a suite of substantive modules offered in conjunction with the School's Management and Organisational Innovation MSc, the programme includes core modules taken jointly with social science students from a range of disciplines across QMUL, Kings College London and Imperial College as part of the training offered by the ESRC funded London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS-DTP). The Innovation and Enterprise MRes is in an approved pathway for ESRC funding, enabling students to apply for ESRC 1+3 funding to cover both the MRes and a PhD, and successful MRes graduates to apply subsequently for ESRC +3 PhD funding. The MRes also caters more generally for those seeking to develop their ability to apply knowledge and understanding of financial management in a complex global environment –and is an ideal preparation for a career in multi-national business, as well as for those pursuing advanced studies. Each module has an outline description, giving the aims, expected learning outcomes, assessment methods, outline syllabus and indication of primary reading. Modules are typically assessed by a combination of coursework and final (two-hour) examinations. There is considerable variation across modules, however some are wholly examined by coursework.
