Business Entrepreneurship with Placement Year

This degree will give you a business management education, with a focus on entrepreneurship and its role in the economy and society. Practical components provide the skills to plan, promote, finance and grow your business venture. You'll graduate with the ability to start your own business or bring entrepreneurial thinking to an established organisation.

• You can learn about digital business models, technological innovation or digital marketing, as well as business fundamentals such as financial and management accounting.

• Our expert research-led academics are well connected. Through them you'll gain insights from the best and most innovative London-based companies, as well as Southampton's entrepreneurial community.

On our four year programme, you'll also get to spend your third year on a paid industry placement. What's more, our award-winning placements team will support in finding placement opportunities, interview practice and throughout your placement year.

We also offer a variant of this course with a study abroad year instead of a placement year.
