Business Management with Enterprise

Business Management with Enterprise is a degree designed for students who are not content simply to understand how organisations work but want to develop the thinking and practical capabilities needed to build, disrupt, or grow them. Enterprise, in an academic sense, means more than starting businesses: it encompasses the attitudes, skills, and processes through which organisations innovate, identify opportunities, and adapt to a changing environment. Combined with solid business management foundations, it produces graduates who can function effectively in established organisations as well as in start-ups and social enterprises.

At Leeds Beckett University, this three-year, full-time degree includes a sandwich year and the option of a year abroad, giving you extended opportunities for professional experience and international exposure that complement the entrepreneurial focus of the programme. You will explore how organisations work and how entrepreneurs disrupt, adapt, and grow them, from start-ups and social enterprises to established global businesses. The programme blends core business knowledge with innovative thinking and an entrepreneurial mindset, preparing you for the realities of today's fast-moving economic landscape.

Work placements are also part of the programme, connecting your academic learning to real professional contexts.

Graduates are well placed for roles across business and management, including positions in business development, product management, consultancy, marketing, and operations, as well as for founding or leading ventures of their own. Employers across the private, public, and third sectors value the combination of analytical ability and entrepreneurial thinking that this degree develops. For those who wish to continue studying, postgraduate programmes in entrepreneurship, innovation, business administration, and management are all natural progressions.
