BSc (Hons) Business Enterprise (BBE)

Course programme


This course provides the opportunity for you to ‘pitch’ for ‘seed-corn’ capital of up to £5,000, enabling you to start and run your own business as an integral part of your honours degree. We offer a range of business subjects that will help you to establish your business and develop your qualities of entrepreneurship, management and innovation.


In the first semester, you will learn how to create an effective business plan. This will form the basis of your ‘pitch’ to obtain your ‘seed-corn’ capital from our investment panel ‘Buckingham Angels’.


During the following 18 months, you will be establishing and ‘growing’ the business, at the same time as developing your academic knowledge in-depth across the range of business subjects needed to obtain an honours degree in Business Enterprise.


Throughout the programme entrepreneurs are invited to talk to the students about their experiences in starting business and what lessons they have learned in the process. This gives the students the opportunity to learn from real-world experiences and provide the inspiration all entrepreneurs need to be successful.
