Business Management with Enterprise
Business management with enterprise is for those who want to understand not just how existing organisations work but how new ones are built, and how innovation and entrepreneurial thinking can disrupt and transform markets. It combines the analytical and organisational knowledge of business management with a focus on the mindset, methods, and practical skills of entrepreneurship, producing graduates who are equally capable of joining established organisations and leading change within them or of creating and developing ventures of their own.
At Leeds Beckett University, this part-time degree is designed for ambitious, creative thinkers who want to combine business knowledge with entrepreneurial development. You will explore how organisations work across their core functions, examining strategy, marketing, finance, and management, while also engaging with innovation, start-up development, and the dynamics of fast-changing economic environments. The enterprise specialism gives you the opportunity to develop and test entrepreneurial ideas, understanding what it takes to build a business from concept to operation, or to grow and develop an existing enterprise.
A sandwich year provides extended professional experience in a working organisation, a year abroad broadens your perspective, and work placement experience is integrated throughout the programme, ensuring the degree connects academic learning to real practice.
Studying part-time at Leeds Beckett gives you flexibility to pursue the degree alongside other commitments while building a professional network and developing the practical skills that entrepreneurship demands.
Graduates go on to found their own businesses, join growing companies in commercial or management roles, move into consultancy, or pursue careers in business development, innovation management, and intrapreneurship within larger organisations. Many also continue to postgraduate study in business, entrepreneurship, or related disciplines. The combination of management fundamentals and entrepreneurial thinking makes this degree relevant in virtually every sector.
