Delivered in partnership with Dumfries and Galloway College and the University of Glasgow, this course is aimed at students with an HND qualification, and you will enter at Year 3. A high level of commitment and participation is required to support the underpinning theoretical knowledge, which you will apply to your business venture or within the organisation you work for. You can access internal and external support from our various partners including UWS’ Business Start-Up Network, Princes Trust Youth Business Scotland (PTYBS), and Scottish Institute for Enterprise (SIE). Local entrepreneurs and business owners also deliver workshops.

You will be well-positioned to take your business concept to the next stage of the start-up process. You will also have developed a range of valuable transferable skills, which will be attractive to employers who are owners of small enterprises in your area of expertise.
