Although Enterprise is a relatively new business discipline it is a subject which has increasing value to employers and the business environment. The Business Enterprise degree focuses on developing skills, attitudes and knowledge in two areas: enterprise capabilities - innovation, creativity, risk management, risk taking, a 'can-do' attitude and a drive to make things happen; business and economic understanding - the ability to understand the business context and the functional applications of business, and the business creation process. The BA(Hons) Business Enterprise course has been designed to provide students with a comprehensive business understanding of individual, organisational and societal applications of the enterprising skill set. Being enterprising involves thinking, seeing and behaving in an enterprising way in any context. An enterprising proactive approach is required in all business contexts and is not only relevant to start-ups or small fast moving businesses. All businesses value these skills and behaviours. This course enables you to acquire relevant functional business knowledge and skills, develop your individual enterprising skills and prepares you for organisational roles that require an entrepreneurial outlook as well as for independent careers in self-employed business. As a consequence we offer a curriculum that aims to challenge ways of thinking, learning and behaving. Issues of ethics and ethical decision-making, sustainability and global citizenship are embedded throughout.

The strong demand for graduates with this degree makes it an ideal launch pad for a career in management, marketing, finance and accountancy, human resources, IT, corporate finance - or just about any area of the public or private sector. Our graduates are employed in a wide range of roles, such as Marketing Executive, Events Manager, Key Account Manager, Public Relations Executive and Market Researcher. They work across private and public sector organisations including Lloyds TSB, Intel, Airbus, BBC and Avon and Somerset Constabulary. Almost three-quarters of UWE Bristol Business School undergraduates from the UK who studied on full-time and sandwich courses went on to secure graduate level employment in 2010. This was in a very competitive job market and demonstrates the high level of employability of our students.
