BSc (Hons) Business Entrepreneurship

For aspiring founders, innovators and intrapreneurs who strive to drive change in businesses of every size, Buckingham’s Business Management with Entrepreneurship degree is practical rather than theoretical. This course combines core business management alongside development of the skills, mindset and confidence to create, launch and grow new ideas.

Business needs people who can do more than understand organisations. It needs people who can spot opportunities, create value, challenge assumptions and turn ideas into action. The BSc Business Management with Entrepreneurship course is designed for students who want to develop that entrepreneurial edge; whether you aim to launch your own venture, grow a family business, work in a start-up or bring innovation into an established organisation.

In this degree, you will study the core areas that every business graduate needs, with a distinctive focus on enterprise, innovation, and practical entrepreneurship. You will study the foundations of business, including management, marketing, finance, economics, strategy, people, operations and decision-making. You’ll also explore what it takes to create and develop new products, services and organisations.

The course goes beyond textbook learning. You will have opportunities to engage with entrepreneurs, analyse real entrepreneurial journeys and benefit from links with local businesspeople and wider enterprise networks. You’ll also learn through excellent academic contact, entrepreneur-led sessions, business projects and micro-internships.

A key strength of the programme is its practical focus. Students learn about the psychology of entrepreneurship, innovation, social enterprise and business creation. They also complete a dissertation on an entrepreneurial topic that interests them, allowing them to investigate an area aligned with their ambitions. You will graduate with a recognised degree, practical experience and the confidence to take your next step in business.
