This Business Management and Entrepreneurship degree will provide you with the skills required to plan, set up and run your own business. It is designed specifically to make you a ‘business ready’ graduate: a confident, independent thinker with a detailed knowledge of business and management and equipped with the skills to adapt rapidly to change.
You will gain in-depth knowledge of organisations and their environments, including their relationships to society. Specialising in entrepreneurship, you will learn how to manage innovation, and develop your own entrepreneurial skills.

Course Details - Modules
Throughout your three year degree there is a focus on supporting you to develop, track and recognise your own increasing ability to add value to organisations. This is achieved through our Business Readiness module where, working with your Personal Tutor, you will gather evidence of your knowledge, attributes and skills. This will demonstrate to prospective employers how you can play a key role in whichever organisations you work for.
In your first year, you will learn to recognise your personal strengths and weaknesses through a process of self-assessment and reflection, and understand your role in a team. You will practice these skills in a variety of team problem-based activities and scenarios. You will also establish an overview of business organisations in a global context and be introduced to key areas of business such as finance, marketing and data analysis.
Your second year will continue to develop your business readiness, and you will gain experience of management, from managing people across different cultures to supply chain and project management. You will have an opportunity to practice your entrepreneurship in a real-world context, alongside developing high-level business planning skills, critical to successful entrepreneurship.
In your third year, you will explore the theory and practice of entrepreneurship, learning more about your own style and skills, and how to bring those abilities out in others. You will also look at a key area of entrepreneurship, managing innovation, and you will gain an understanding of the variety of approaches used to help this work best for an organisation. Finally, you will undertake a dissertation on a topic within entrepreneurship of you own choosing.
