Bachelor in Business Enterprise

At University College Birmingham, the tuition fee is 19,750 GBP per year.

Graduates of the Business Enterprise top-up degree move into roles such as business development manager, product manager, management consultant, sales executive or launch their own venture. Employers include large firms like BMW and Grant Thornton, as well as growing start-ups, and many students continue to postgraduate study in enterprise management.

The programme is a one-year full-time top-up that builds on a relevant HND or foundation degree. In the first term you complete two core modules – Risk and Response Management and From Incubation to Acceleration – which develop an understanding of entrepreneurial risk and growth strategies. You then select one specialised project module and two further optional modules from a list that includes Freelancing, International Marketing and Change and Transformation Strategy, allowing you to tailor the degree to your career aims while receiving support from the Enterprise Hub.
