About Business Management (Innovation and Entrepreneurship) BA, BA (Hons) - at Middlesex University
Overview
Shape your studies
Not everyone wants to go into an established business and simply fit into the organisation. Some people want to enter a company to shake things up and innovate their product, their brand or how they operate. Other people don鈥檛 see themselves working for anyone, have an idea they want to pursue and start their own business.
On our course you can shape your studies to your career ambitions, developing yourself and your skills to innovate products and services in the modern workforce.
During the course, there's an emphasis on applying practice to theory in a business environment. This gives you the opportunity to see how businesses develop their products, manage their operations and innovate in their markets. To this end, a large part of the course is taking part in a work placement so you can apply what you know in a live environment.
