Business and Management (Entrepreneurship)

You’ll learn through interactive sessions where you collaborate, test ideas, and apply your learning to real business situations. You’ll also hear from real startups who share honest experiences and offer valuable opportunities to network. Learning is grounded in real practice, with opportunities to work on live briefs that help you understand what it takes to build a sustainable business. 

Assessments are practical and purposeful, designed to reflect the realities of building and growing a business. You’ll analyse start-ups, develop and refine business models, pitch solutions, and produce professional outputs such as reports, videos and portfolios. Many assessments are rooted in real entrepreneurial contexts, helping you build confidence, creativity and critical judgement and if you already have a business idea or a working venture, your work can be shaped around your own context, making your work directly useful beyond the degree. The course is designed for a post-Generative AI workplace, supporting you to use digital and AI tools responsibly to enhance decision-making and innovation. 

You’ll have opportunities to gain real-world experience alongside your studies. This includes a 75-hour placement with a start-up, offering insight into the reality of running a business and an option to take an additional sandwich year in the UK or internationally. These experiences help you apply theory in practice, build professional confidence, expand your networks, and strengthen your employability before graduation. 

Studying Business and Management means learning beyond the classroom. Through the South Wales Business School, you’ll engage with industry partners through visits to real organisations and occasional teaching delivered in workplaces across Wales. You’ll also have access to Startup Stiwdio, a dedicated space offering business events, expert guidance and a supportive community of like-minded entrepreneurs, with the Enterprise team on hand to support freelancing and new business ideas. 
 
You’ll also benefit from resources provided by the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs (IOEE), including case studies, networking opportunities and business planning guidance, alongside access to laptops, on-campus IT facilities and library resources.
