MSc Global Community Entrepreneurship (GCE)

The Postgraduate Diploma leading to MSc Global Community Entrepreneurship is being designed by London College of Business Management of Information Technology (LCBMIT), the independent educational body of Stockwell Green Community Services (SGCS), in partnership with top UK universities.

There is great demand from many third sector organisations such as social enterprises, charities and NGO’s, for individuals with entrepreneurial and commercial acumen, coupled with a social conscience and understanding of the needs of their communities.

Students will also learn amongst other things how to design effective campaigns, how to be innovative, market their services, motivate and lead people, manage change, develop a strategy for their social business and raise necessary funds to be able to support this.
