Studying Business and Entrepreneurship, you learn the key concepts that help uncover the complex nature of organisations and the business environment. You explore the significance of entrepreneurship and innovation to both business and the world. Most exciting of all, you get the opportunity to start and launch your own innovative venture.
You study a range of compulsory modules and in your final year select an optional module in an area that interests you, including Business Law and Supply Chain Management. You learn from established and successful entrepreneurs and apply this to your venture. You will develop innovative solutions in response to genuine problems in the first year, evaluate and select venture-worthy opportunities based on these problems in the second year, and pivot or scale-up in the third year.
You have excellent opportunities to experience entrepreneurship in action through hands-on experience from starting and launching your venture, in-class live case studies, our visiting industry experts, enterprise challenges and even the opportunity to shadow an entrepreneur. You also have an opportunity to gain entrepreneurial skills that will enable you to accelerate your innovative thinking into practice.
Going abroad as part of your degree is an amazing experience and a chance to develop personally, academically, and professionally. You experience a different culture, gain a new academic perspective, establish international contacts and enhance your employability. Our wide array of exchange partners give you the opportunity to gain international experience. Our partners are committed to enhancing their international outlook while providing excellent teaching. You will gain invaluable work experience, develop your understanding of a new culture and improve your language skills.
