Business and Entrepreneurship with Business Foundation

Business and entrepreneurship is a degree that takes seriously both the rigour of business education and the distinctive challenges of creating and growing new ventures. Where a general business degree prepares you for roles in established organisations, entrepreneurship adds a focus on opportunity recognition, venture creation, innovation management, and the resilience and adaptability that building something new demands. Together, they produce graduates who understand how businesses work and who have the confidence and skills to create their own.

At Regent's University London, this four-year programme includes a foundation year that builds the academic and business knowledge needed for the main degree. The university's London setting and its cosmopolitan student community provide an unusually international environment, and the programme reflects that character, drawing students and perspectives from across the world. You will study core business disciplines including finance, marketing, strategy, and operations alongside entrepreneurship-specific content covering business planning, venture funding, growth strategies, and the management of early-stage companies.

The programme includes a year abroad, giving you exposure to business and entrepreneurship in a different national context, which is particularly valuable in a globalised world where ventures often need to operate across borders from an early stage.

Graduates either move into careers within established organisations or pursue entrepreneurial paths of their own. In employed roles, the entrepreneurship background is valued in innovation-focused positions, in business development, and in organisations that want people who can think and act with initiative. In start-up contexts, graduates launch their own ventures, join early-stage companies as founding team members, or move into roles in venture capital, accelerators, and the broader innovation ecosystem.

The combination of business fundamentals and entrepreneurial thinking also opens doors in consulting, where clients value advisers who understand both organisational realities and the dynamics of change and growth.
