FAIR dues to University College Cork's Department of Management and Marketing. The university is doing its bit to nurture entrepreneurialism. Last night saw the official launch of its MBS in Entrepreneurialism.

The two year course is a first, not only in Ireland, but also in the EU, according to UCC. It is EU funded and concentrates on our "theoretical, conceptual and practical understanding of economic activity". The course began last October and 12 students are participating. They range from a solicitor and a journalist to businessmen and recent graduates.
