Program Overview

Our flexible, international BA (Hons) Entrepreneurship builds the skills you need to start and run your own business, as well as make your mark in the corporate world. The course combines study of entrepreneurial theory with practical learning and problem-solving through research-based modules. And it boosts your career chances with employers looking for new talent to lead breakthrough change and new initiatives. Our work-based approach will see you apply your new leadership and management knowledge to establishing and managing your own business. While between your second and final year, you’re encouraged to extend your horizons with an optional year out. This could be a work placement in an established business or start-up (depending on your pathway), or the chance to gain international experience studying abroad. The course is covered by the prestigious Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation for Newcastle Business School. What’s more, when you study at Northumbria you’ll be part of a leading, business-focused university. We rank 4th in the sector nationally and top in the North East for further study, sustained employment or both for Business and Admin Studies graduates five years after graduation. (Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) 2017) Most importantly of all, our students value the hands-on, practical ethos of this course – 100% said they had opportunities to apply what they had learnt (National Student Survey, 2018).
