Smurfit School

Fora is partnering with UCD Smurfit School to offer one entrepreneur a scholarship worth up to €14,500

Supporting tomorrow’s start-up stars with a potentially life-changing opportunity.

HERE AT FORA we cover the the fast-moving world of Irish entrepreneurs – bringing you insights on their successes, and lessons from their mistakes.

We want to support the best and the brightest in the SME community. And that’s why we’ve partnered with Ireland’s leading business school, UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School, to offer one entrepreneur a potentially life-changing opportunity.

We are offering a full scholarship worth €14,500 for the UCD Smurfit School MSc in Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Design – a part-time two-year programme that supports students and founders to launch their own company in a structured learning environment.

Why this MSc?

The unique design of the MSc in Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Design combines the academic rigour and theoretical grounding of a traditional Master’s with extensive practical experience involving the creation of actual new ventures.

So if you’re a tech entrepreneur – or a would-be tech entrepreneur – with a science, technology, engineering or maths degree and at least three years’ work experience, it could be for you.

The course, which launched in 2015, offers expertise from three leading Irish institutions: Smurfit School’s strength in core business and innovation management, National College of Art and Design’s industrial design expertise, and input from experts at NovaUCD, UCD’s leading incubator of technology firms.

A little about UCD Smurfit School
