About this course

Entrepreneurship is the discipline concerned with how new ideas are turned into viable organisations, how innovation is nurtured and developed, and how people build, grow, and sometimes transform businesses and social enterprises. Combining it with business management gives you the commercial and organisational foundations that entrepreneurs need alongside the specific skills of recognising opportunity, building a value proposition, and executing effectively under conditions of uncertainty. It is a combination that is relevant not only to those who intend to start their own ventures but to anyone who wants to drive change and innovation within existing organisations.

At the University of Buckingham, this two-year full-time degree is deliberately practical rather than theoretical in its orientation. You will develop core business management skills alongside the mindset, confidence, and capabilities needed to create, launch, and grow new ideas. The programme is designed for students who are ambitious about making things happen, whether as founders, as innovators within larger organisations, or as professionals who want to understand and contribute to entrepreneurial processes.

The two-year structure means you complete the degree efficiently while still covering the essential ground in both business management and entrepreneurship. With a typical entry tariff of 120 UCAS points, the course is accessible to students from a range of backgrounds who share that entrepreneurial ambition.

Graduates from business management with entrepreneurship programmes pursue careers across a wide spectrum. Starting or growing a business is the most direct application, and many graduates go on to found ventures of their own. But the skills developed are equally valuable in business development roles within established organisations, in the growing ecosystem of social enterprise and impact-driven work, and in areas like product management, venture capital, and innovation consulting.

Postgraduate study in entrepreneurship, business, or related fields is available for those who want to build on their foundations.
