Our Business Management and Entrepreneurship (Top-up) degree is ideal if you already have a foundation degree (FdA / FdSC), Higher National Diploma (HND), years 1 and 2 of an undergraduate degree in a relevant subject at a different institution, or equivalent qualification in a relevant subject.
This course will give you the mindset, capabilities, and confidence to lead innovation, launch ventures, and drive impact across commercial, social, and civic sectors.
Through immersive business experiences, entrepreneurial simulations, and access to real venture-building opportunities, you will learn by doing. Whether your ambition is to start a business, scale innovation within an organisation, or lead community-driven initiatives, this course provides the critical tools, networks, and applied learning needed to succeed.
You will join a vibrant ecosystem anchored by The Business Laboratory, our dedicated hub for enterprise and innovation, and benefit from direct access to initiatives such as The Enterprise Exchange, The LaunchPad Accelerator, and the EWIE Conference (Empowering Women in Entrepreneurship).
On this top-up course, you will develop a skill set founded on strategic management theory that allows you to become an active participant in the strategy process that organisations deploy to ensure their long-term success. You will also have the opportunity to develop a new venture.
In the transformation capstone module, you will have the opportunity to apply your academic knowledge in a real-world setting, where you will develop strategic solutions to real-world business challenges.
