What is Business and Entrepreneurship?

The BSc Business and Entrepreneurship degree empowers students to think and act like entrepreneurs, whether launching a venture or driving innovation within an organisation. It blends theory with real-world experience to develop creative, adaptable, and future-ready business leaders.

BSc (Hons) Business and Entrepreneurship

Is being entrepreneurial solely about launching a startup, or is it something more? What if you could think like an entrepreneur without owning a business, innovating and solving problems from within an organisation? Today, the entrepreneurial mindset is no longer exclusive to founders; it’s accessible to anyone ready to create change! 

Our new BSc (Hons) Business and Entrepreneurship degree helps students explore exactly what that means in practice.
