Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Business Management - Entrepreneurship (N1N2)

In an unpredictable world, innovative minds have the edge. Thinking and acting entrepreneurially is as valuable in a large organisation as it is to a new venture. Both leading companies and start-ups must develop new ideas, products and services that create value. That is why they look for graduates with an entrepreneurial mindset, someone comfortable with change and adept at facing new challenges.

This new degree scheme draws on more than 30 years’ experience of teaching entrepreneurship and working with businesses to develop entrepreneurial thinking at all levels of an organisation. They department's approach encompasses all elements of the entrepreneurial process, including creativity, opportunity recognition, sales, finance, entrepreneurial leadership and effective communication. It is complemented through a focus on the development of the entrepreneurial self, namely how students see themselves as entrepreneurial people in their chosen workplace or community context. Practice-based teaching ensures students engage in thinking entrepreneurially and develop new skills. The department's wide range of expertise means they include all aspects of entrepreneurship, as well as business model innovation and digital strategies.

At a broader level, the department ensures students are cognisant of wider societal, environmental, political and economic challenges that are both impacted by and impact on the way they do business. The department considers how technology shapes value and supply chains and creates new opportunities, including opportunities arising from major global challenges. The program shares a common first year with BSc Business Management, including the introductory entrepreneurship module. After this, students specialise their studies through deeper learning of different aspects of entrepreneurship. Key to this is the department's combination of research-led and practice-based experiential teaching, much of which draws on the world-leading Entrepreneurs in Residence program.

Throughout their studies, students will have support from the university's careers team, which includes a dedicated departmental careers coach working with them from day one to help with internships, placements and graduate employment. The university will supply training in CV writing, interview assessment centres and telephone interviews, helping students with their future career ambitions.

This program will inspire and motivate students to make change at the same time as building resilience to the many challenges they might face in their career. This degree helps students understand the complexities of the real world and how to do business within it. The skills and knowledge that they will learn will be equally applicable if they are seeking graduate employment, wanting to start their own businesses, or considering joining family businesses or working in the public sector.
