BA Business Management (Innovation and Entrepreneurship)
About this course
Innovation and entrepreneurship represent the engine of economic renewal in every era, and studying them within a business management framework gives you both the practical skills and the conceptual understanding to turn ideas into viable enterprises. This specialism asks how new products, services, and business models come into being, how organisations create cultures that sustain innovation, and how individual entrepreneurs navigate the risks and opportunities of building something new. It is a degree for those who want to understand business not just as it is but as it could be. At Middlesex University, this three-year, full-time programme includes a foundation year for students who benefit from additional preparation before entering degree-level study, and a sandwich year that provides the opportunity to undertake a substantial work placement and apply your learning in a real organisational context. Work placements are embedded throughout the course, ensuring that your professional development keeps pace with your academic progress. You will study the fundamentals of business management alongside focused work on creative problem-solving, venture creation, business modelling, and the management of innovation within established organisations. The programme develops analytical and practical skills that are directly applicable to entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial environments. Graduates of business management programmes with an innovation and entrepreneurship specialism go on to work in a wide range of settings. Some launch their own businesses or social enterprises, while others take roles in corporate innovation teams, strategy functions, management consultancy, or the venture capital and startup ecosystem. The skills developed in this programme, including structured thinking, commercial awareness, and creative problem-framing, are valued across sectors, and many graduates also choose to pursue postgraduate study in entrepreneurship, management, or a sector-specific field.
