Our adaptable, globally-oriented BA (Hons) Entrepreneurship program equips you with essential skills to launch and manage your own venture or excel in corporate environments. Northumbria University's Entrepreneurship curriculum blends theoretical knowledge with hands-on learning and practical problem-solving. You can select research-focused modules exploring various entrepreneurial dimensions or opt for a business startup track to establish your own company. The program emphasizes flexibility and personal choice. After a foundational first year in entrepreneurial principles, the second year lets you choose your specialization, including an enterprise track where you can apply leadership skills to build your own business. For those preferring traditional studies, specialized module options are available. Between your second and final year, you can broaden your experience through an optional gap year—whether through corporate internships, advancing your startup (depending on your track), or international study abroad opportunities. The program holds the prestigious AACSB accreditation through Newcastle Business School. Studying at Northumbria means joining a top-tier, business-oriented university community.
Career readiness drives our curriculum—every module strengthens transferable workplace skills. We've incorporated specialized career-building courses: Professional Career Development and Entrepreneurial Management. Outside lectures, you'll gain practical experience through initiatives like our Business Clinic, where you'll tackle real client challenges. Second-year students can study abroad for a semester or take a full year abroad in EU destinations or further locations like the USA, Australia, or China. Our alumni have launched successful ventures including Y-Tea (premium tea brand), Lundgren Tours (award-winning travel company), and Filmit UK (film production). The entrepreneurial mindset you'll develop isn't just valuable for startups—it's highly prized by employers, especially in consulting, sales, and marketing roles. Graduates emerge prepared for corporate training programs, entry-level positions, or launching their own enterprises. For those pursuing advanced study, the program provides excellent preparation for postgraduate degrees like our MSc in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management.
