Great businesses begin with great ideas, and they have a better chance of flourishing with guidance from experienced professionals in a supportive environment.

The BA (Hons) Business and Enterprise Development degree at Lincoln is designed for students who want to learn about business management and theory, while starting 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. It encourages students to put their learning into practice within a structured programme of theoretical scholarship.

Placements

All full-time students on this course have the opportunity to take a year-long work placement after the second year. A work placement can allow students to gain valuable experience and apply their learning in practice. Students are encouraged to obtain placements in industry and do this independently, although tutors may provide support and advice during this process. Please note that students who choose to undertake a work placement do not pay tuition fees for that year, but are required to cover their travel, accommodation, and general living costs. For more information about this please visit LIBS work placement pages.

Graduates may choose to continue running the businesses they start while on the course or create new ventures. Others may use their entrepreneurial and business management skills as business development managers within organisations in the private, public, and third sectors.
