Course Content

The course will provide you with both knowledge of small business management and the opportunity to apply that knowledge to a private business venture or to a venture operated through the programme.
Through the three years of the degree, the focus will progressively move from knowledge needed to set up a company, to practical aspects, such as registering your business, protecting your intellectual property and professional advice on how to manage a business – essential for your company’s day-to-day operations.

Core themes include: creativity and idea development, innovation, business start-up and management (feasibility testing and planning), marketing, finance management, human resource management, business development and growth, and personal entrepreneurial development.

Your course will be based on a series of lectures, with associated seminars and practical classes. In addition, your personal tutor will review and discuss your progress with you and will be available for advice.
