Foundations in Entrepreneurship (N1589)
15 credits, Level 5
Autumn teaching
On this module you'll explore entrepreneurship. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of key concepts and relevant debates in contemporary entrepreneurial theory and practice.
You'll examine entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial action from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective in a range of organisational contexts (i.e. start-ups, small business, corporate ventures and social enterprises) and domains (e.g. digital, creative, med-tech and life sciences fields).
We'll also discuss the role of governments in developing entrepreneurial ecosystems that support economic, social and sustainable development and growth. You'll learn about theories, methodologies and tools to start exploring entrepreneurship practices.
We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.
We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
