Business with Entrepreneurship, BA (Hons), with industry placement

Course summary

The BA (Hons) Business and Enterprise Development degree at Lincoln is designed for students wanting to learn about business management and theory, while building up their own businesses in a supportive and professional environment. This course offers the opportunity to study business law, ethical and socially responsible entrepreneurship, the principles of business and operational management, e-business and marketing, and encourages students to put learning into practice within a structured programme of theoretical scholarship. Students join the Lincoln International Business School with access to its business networks and academics who specialise in research into small businesses and sustainable entrepreneurship. There are opportunities to benefit from mentoring from members of the School’s advisory board and the city’s business community.

Initially, students have the opportunity to learn the foundations of small business development within an ethical and entrepreneurial context. They are encouraged to work in a creative and strategic way to develop a business plan by themselves or with a group of fellow students. In the second year, students start to run their own business from Sparkhouse. Second and final-year students can choose from optional modules in order to focus on areas of particular interest, and are expected to spend at least two days a week running their businesses.

Some programmes provide you with the opportunity to focus your study in a particular area through optional modules. Timetabling arrangements may limit the availability of some optional modules to some students. As the options often reflect staff research interests, they may alter over time due to staff availability.
