    What you'll learn

    As part of this unique entrepreneurship course, you'll take on one module from each of our three categories every term. 'External' modules cover things like market research, industry partners, and customers. 'Internal' modules look at management topics like finances, operations and people. And 'You' modules consider your developing skills, like creative thinking, self-reflection and specialist knowledge.

    • Stage one
    • Stage two
    • Stage three
    Stage one

    Developing your foundational knowledge, you’ll investigate the key elements of business, the landscape’s challenges, and future trends. You’ll get an insight into finance, marketing, and how to understand and influence people - while exploring data, information and intelligence. And you’ll improve your relationship-building and decision making skills by pitching and presenting ideas as a team.

    Modules

    Market Intelligence
    Present and Future of Entrepreneurship
    The Art of Strategy
    Wellbeing in Business
    Design Thinking
    Navigating Uncertainty

    Stage two

    Along with your team, you'll put your business plan into action and pitch your product or services to your target market. You'll also develop your expertise and skills in managerial and team roles, thinking and expressing yourself in terms of data and business.

    Modules

    Complex Problem-Solving
    Critical and Social Innovation
    Intelligent Brand Building
    Demonstrating Sustainability
    Financial Insights
    Collaborative Project: Growth Challenge

    Stage three

    Finalising your Business and Entrepreneurship degree, you'll present a leadership project in an interview and showcase, build a portfolio showing your professional standing, take on team challenges around your business, and develop a strategy for your company. You'll also choose between completing an applied project, work placement or dissertation.

    Modules

    Creative & Ethical Leadership
    Global Economies and International Markets
    DataLab: Generation, Analysis, Iteration
    Crafting Your Future: Professional Practice and Research
    Social Action Project

    The modules above are those being studied by our students, or proposed new ones. Programme structures and modules can change as part of our curriculum enhancement and review processes. If a certain module is important to you, please discuss it with the Course Leader.

    From module information to course aims and assessment criteria, discover the full course details for the 2 year course and 3 year course

    How you'll learn

    You’ll deliver real products or services as you form a business team, develop a plan, create your venture and take it to market. For each module, you’ll attend a weekly one hour lecture and two-hour seminar, and fit online study materials around your schedule. The course is designed to give you time to embed your learning into your entrepreneurial venture.

    Staff

    You’ll receive training and support from professionals and practitioners from every corner of the business world. Their experience covers senior roles at multinationals, winning research awards and investigating social media innovations in business.

    Some members of staff only teach on specific modules, and your course might not feature every member shown here.
