Business, Enterprise and Entrepreneurship

Want to start a business and become your own boss? Eager to learn how to be entrepreneurial across different industries and roles? Our Business, Enterprise, and Entrepreneurship course is delivered by people who’ve walked the walk and can bust through the myths to get you on track.

Studying with us, you’ll experience a unique combination of application, practice and theory as you learn how to create jobs and growth in all kinds of businesses, from small family companies to not-for-profits to big corporations.

Whether you join us straight from school, you’re planning your fledgling venture or you’ve already got started, you’ll experience a top 5 UK city for start-ups and one of Europe’s top 20 tech hubs for investment. We’ll connect you with the people and organisations that can give you your big break. From placements to module options, you can tailor the course to your goals as you learn how to live the life of the entrepreneur.

If you decide to change focus, you can switch to Business and Management or International Business Management at the end of the first year.

Graduate from Business, Enterprise and Entrepreneurship ready to set up a business and create job opportunities for yourself and others.
