BSc Business Management with Entrepreneurship with placement year
About this course
Entrepreneurship is the engine of economic and social renewal, the process by which new ideas are translated into ventures, new value is created, and established industries are challenged and transformed. Business management with entrepreneurship is a degree designed for students who want not only to understand how organisations work but to create and lead them, developing the mindset, skills, and knowledge needed to start new enterprises, grow them through their early stages, and drive innovation within established businesses. Whether your ambition is to launch your own company, join an early-stage start-up, enter a family business, or become a champion of internal innovation within a large organisation, this degree provides the foundations. At Brunel University London, this four-year full-time BSc develops entrepreneurial thinking alongside rigorous business management education. The degree includes a placement year, giving you a substantial period of professional experience in a business environment before graduation. This is one of the most practically valuable features of the programme: you will enter your final year, and then the graduate job market, with direct evidence of professional competence and an expanded professional network. Throughout the degree you will study the core functions of business, including marketing, finance, operations, and human resource management, while developing the specific capabilities of entrepreneurship, including opportunity recognition, business model development, venture financing, innovation management, and the leadership skills needed to build and motivate teams under conditions of uncertainty. Graduates are well prepared for careers across the entrepreneurial and innovation economy. Many launch their own ventures, informed by the practical tools and networks the programme provides. Others enter roles in start-ups and scale-ups, bringing entrepreneurial energy and management skills to fast-growing organisations. Corporate innovation, business development, product management, and management consultancy are also common destinations. The placement year experience is a significant advantage in recruitment across these fields. Postgraduate study in entrepreneurship, innovation management, or business administration is a natural next step for those who want to deepen their expertise before building or leading organisations.
