Business Management with Entrepreneurship

Business Management with Entrepreneurship is a degree that combines the broad organisational and commercial frameworks of business management with a specific focus on innovation, venture creation, and the mindset and skills needed to build new enterprises. Business management gives you the analytical tools to understand how organisations function across strategy, finance, marketing, operations and leadership. Entrepreneurship adds the orientation towards opportunity identification, risk-taking, business model design, and the practical challenges of starting and scaling ventures that define the entrepreneurial mindset.

At Edinburgh Napier University, this four-year full-time programme integrates academic theory in business management with applied thinking in entrepreneurship, developing graduates who are both analytically capable and practically oriented towards creating value in commercial environments. You will study strategy, marketing, finance, and organisational behaviour alongside entrepreneurship theory, business model innovation, new venture planning, and the management of growth in early-stage businesses. A year abroad is available, giving you international exposure and perspective at a critical stage of your development.

Edinburgh provides a strong context for entrepreneurship education, with a growing start-up ecosystem, access to investment networks, and a city that combines a strong tradition in financial services and professional industries with an increasingly active technology and creative sector.

Graduates of Business Management with Entrepreneurship programmes enter careers across a wide range of commercial roles, from management positions in established organisations to founding or joining early-stage ventures. Many also work in business development, innovation, consulting, and finance. Some pursue postgraduate study in business, entrepreneurship, or specialist fields such as technology management or international business.

The combination of commercial knowledge and entrepreneurial thinking is valued wherever organisations are looking to grow, adapt, or innovate.
