Management with Entrepreneurship

Management with entrepreneurship is designed for students who want to understand how organisations work and how new ventures are started and grown, combining the analytical frameworks of management with the practical and creative orientation of entrepreneurship. Management studies provides a grounding in strategy, organisational behaviour, marketing, finance and operations, while entrepreneurship focuses on venture creation, innovation, opportunity identification and the challenges of building something new. Together they develop graduates who are both analytically rigorous and commercially creative.

At Goldsmiths, which has a distinctive reputation for creative and critical thinking, this three-year full-time programme takes a reflective and questioning approach to business education, encouraging students to think critically about organisations and the role they play in society. You will study core management disciplines alongside the theory and practice of entrepreneurship, engaging with questions about innovation, social enterprise, creative industries and the changing nature of work in a digitalised economy. Goldsmiths' location in south London and its strong connections to the creative industries provide a particular context for entrepreneurship thinking.

Graduates from management and entrepreneurship programmes move into roles in management consultancy, strategy, marketing, operations, product development, start-up founding or co-founding, the creative industries, social enterprise and graduate management schemes across many sectors. The combination of management knowledge and entrepreneurial thinking is valued by employers who want people with both analytical capability and commercial initiative. Many graduates also go on to postgraduate study in management, entrepreneurship, business administration or MBA programmes, developing their strategic and leadership capabilities further before taking on more senior roles.
