BA Business Management and Enterprise
About this course
Business management and enterprise is a degree that prepares you not only to work within organisations but to create and grow them. Where a standard business management programme focuses primarily on how existing organisations are run, this combination brings in the perspective of entrepreneurship, asking how new ventures are identified, launched, and developed in a competitive and uncertain environment. The two orientations complement each other well: understanding how established businesses manage strategy, operations, and people is directly relevant to building something new, while the enterprise dimension brings creativity, risk awareness, and a growth mindset into the study of management. At Sheffield Hallam University, this full-time, three-year programme includes a foundation year, a sandwich year, and work placement opportunities, providing both a supported academic starting point and substantial professional experience. You will work with, on, and for entrepreneur-led enterprises, tackling real business problems and gaining insight into how innovative businesses operate. The programme is delivered within a dynamic hub environment designed to foster entrepreneurial thinking and connection, helping you build the kind of network that supports professional and commercial success. You will develop skills in business analysis, strategy, finance, and innovation, alongside the practical entrepreneurial capabilities needed to identify opportunities and bring ideas to life. The typical entry tariff is 104 UCAS points. Graduates from business management and enterprise programmes move into a wide range of careers. Some go on to start their own businesses, using the enterprise skills and professional networks developed during the degree. Others move into management roles in existing organisations, in sectors from financial services and technology to retail and healthcare. Graduate training schemes, consultancy, and project management are further destinations. The sandwich year frequently leads directly to graduate employment, and the combination of academic and practical training means graduates are well prepared from day one. Postgraduate options include MBA programmes and specialist business degrees.
