About Frontier Innovation University

Affordable US innovation university in Austin, Texas.

Overview

This MSc is for owner-managers and export leads in the Central Belt who already live with commodity codes, hauliers, and the gap between a trade-mission photograph and a paid invoice. University of Brigant teaches from Edinburgh with a tuition-free online twin so a Falkirk plant manager and an Edinburgh founder sit the same assessments. You will build an export plan that names Incoterms, VAT, and capacity, not a ‘go global’ canvas. No agency logos. Capstones use a real SME file (anonymised if required). Dual-pathway students keep identical export-plan constructs whether they attend in Edinburgh or study tuition-free online around a production shift.

Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
