The Henley Centre for Entrepreneurship

Introduction to the Centre

Founded in 2007, the Henley Centre for Entrepreneurship is part of Henley Business School at the University of Reading. Led by Professor Andrew Godley, the Centre provides a lively hub for teaching and research in the subject, inspiring students from across the University to embrace, develop and apply their entrepreneurial abilities.

Teaching in the Centre

Taught modules delivered by the Henley Centre for Entrepreneurship are open to all undergraduate and postgraduate students across the University. We welcome successful entrepreneurs and professionals to share their wide-ranging experiences and expertise through guest lectures, case studies, consultancy sessions and mentoring opportunities. Henley Business School has also launched its new MSc Entrepreneurship and Management programme, new for 2012.
