Course summary

Are you an entrepreneur? If so, this route is for you – your final year will involve a specialisation specifically in the skills required for entrepreneurship.

Our Business and Management degree aims to develop business leaders and managers for the changing workplace of the 21st century. The Entrepreneurship pathway allows you to focus specifically on how you can start and scale your own entrepreneurial venture.

Entrepreneurship is not just about having a business idea. Successful entrepreneurs need the skills, mindsets and understanding to know not only how to start their business, but how to scale it and prepare it for growth. This course is designed to prepare you for that.

The course is structured to equip you with the key competencies every manager and leader will need. Every module includes a business partner coming in to input into the module or set a live brief - ensuring this isn’t just abstract knowledge, it’s understanding you can directly apply to real businesses. In your first two years, you’ll gain the deep understanding of business disciplines every leader needs, before specialising in your final year.

Assessment method

Assessments are practical and purposeful, designed to reflect the realities of building and growing a business. You’ll analyse start-ups, develop and refine business models, pitch solutions, and produce professional outputs such as reports, videos and portfolios. Many assessments are rooted in real entrepreneurial contexts, helping you build confidence, creativity and critical judgement and if you already have a business idea or a working venture, your work can be shaped around your own context, making your work directly useful beyond the degree. The course is designed for a post-Generative AI workplace, supporting you to use digital and AI tools responsibly to enhance decision-making and innovation.
