Entrepreneurship BA (Hons)

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. Northumbria University's Entrepreneurship course combines study of entrepreneurial theory with practical learning and problem-solving. You can pursue a pathway with optional research-based modules which explore different aspects of entrepreneurship, or you can follow a business start-up route and create your own company.

The aim is to provide you with flexibility and choice. Following a common first year focusing on building the foundations for entrepreneurship, the second year provides for your choice of pathway, with the student enterprise route giving an optional route to apply your new leadership and management knowledge to establishing and managing your own business. If you prefer a more conventional approach, you can alternatively choose a route with specialist modules.

Beyond the classroom, you’ll have opportunities to develop further career edge through practical experience and wider learning. In your second year, you can spend a semester studying abroad, or take an extra year before your final year studying elsewhere in the EU, or further afield such as the USA, Australia or China. There’s also our Business Clinic, offering you the chance to work with real clients to help solve their business challenges. 

Many of our entrepreneurship graduates have gone on to put their degree into practice by founding their own successful businesses – including premium tea and tea ware brand Y-Tea, award-winning themed tour operator Lundgren Tours and film production company Filmit UK.
