Master of Entrepreneurship

Colin McLeod

"A degree in entrepreneurship needs three things: Relevant content, highly qualified teaching staff with experience as entrepreneurs, and the support of an external network of leading mentors, investors, incubators and entrepreneurs. We are genuinely excited to offer all three to our students – they just need to add their entrepreneurial passion."

Professor Colin McLeod is the Executive Director of the Melbourne Entrepreneurial Centre (MEC). MEC promotes the formal entrepreneurship education offerings of the University including our flagship Master of Entrepreneurship program.
