MSc in Health Entrepreneurship

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology  (KNUST) in Ghana, Africa, is launching a Masters (MSc) program in Health Entrepreneurship in conjunction with the University of Toronto.

The program consists of twelve distinct course elements, covering topics such as Health Services Marketing, Social Entrepreneurship, Health Innovation and New Venture Creation, Health Ecosystem, Health Policy & Services Management, Epidemiology for Entrepreneurship, and Corporate Health Entrepreneurship.

• Optimize entrepreneurial ecosystems that launch health start-ups, create jobs and generate revenue.
• Establish an entrepreneurial culture in the students within the health ecosystem.
• Provide specific areas of expertise that will make the students more marketable in the health ecosystem.
• Equip students with skills that facilitate knowledge translation to commercialization.
• Build a database and network of alumni within the health ecosystems to inform decisions and policy direction.
