BA (Hons) Sports Business and Entrepreneurship 

This is a three-year programme run in partnership with University of the West of England.

Our Sports Business Entrepreneurship Programme is very much “practice led” with teamwork and entrepreneurship both being central to the programme. 

You will be placed in a Team Company where you will support each other in your learning and undertake a variety of “projects” which will include real business ventures. This is a programme that is “light” on the formal delivery of knowledge through lectures etc., but “heavy” on working in teams, self-managed learning and learning by doing.

The purpose of this course is to give you real life business experience to allow you to graduate with not only a qualification but the experience and skills required within the industry.

Further information can be found here.
