Business Management

Business management with a specialism in entrepreneurship prepares you not just to work within organisations but to create them. Entrepreneurship is the discipline of identifying opportunities, assembling resources, managing uncertainty, and building ventures, whether as a founder of a new business, as an intrapreneur driving innovation within an existing organisation, or as a social entrepreneur using commercial methods to address social challenges. Business management provides the broader operational and strategic knowledge that any venture needs: how to manage people, finances, marketing, operations, and strategy.

At the University of Westminster, this three-year, full-time degree is designed to equip aspiring entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs with the knowledge, skills, and networks they need. You will study the foundations of business management alongside dedicated entrepreneurship content, including innovative business development, social enterprise, sustainability, and the practical challenges of starting and scaling organisations. Westminster's London location gives you access to one of the world's major start-up ecosystems, and the programme is designed to make the most of that environment.

The degree includes a sandwich placement year and the possibility of a year abroad, as well as work placement opportunities throughout the programme.

Graduates from this degree move into an exceptionally wide range of careers. Some launch their own ventures, drawing on the practical and conceptual knowledge the degree provides. Others join established organisations in commercial, innovation, or business development roles, bringing an entrepreneurial mindset to existing structures.

Consulting, marketing, finance, and general management are also common paths. The degree's emphasis on sustainability and social entrepreneurship also prepares graduates for roles in the public sector and the voluntary sector. Postgraduate study in entrepreneurship, business administration, or innovation is an option for those who want to deepen their expertise or continue into research.
