School of Business, Management and Entrepreneurship

A complete grounding in how organisations actually run: operations, people, finance and information. Graduates can hold administrative responsibility with confidence and move into team leadership.

Takes an idea from first hunch to tested business model, with real customer conversations and financial modelling rather than theory alone. Ends with a fundable, evidence-based venture plan.

For leaders who set direction rather than only manage tasks: strategy formation, organisational culture, stakeholder politics and leading through uncertainty. Built around a live strategic challenge the participant brings from their own context.

Covers the full project lifecycle with practical tools for scope, schedule, cost, risk and stakeholders. Method-agnostic, teaching when to use predictive planning and when iterative delivery serves better.

Teaches the craft of advising organisations and mentoring founders: diagnosis, questioning, intervention design and the ethics of influence. Includes supervised consultancy with a real client.

For board members, trustees and senior administrators: the duties, structures and judgement that keep an organisation lawful, accountable and effective. Case-based, covering both commercial and charitable governance.

Builds a full commercial marketing skillset: brand, positioning, content, paid media and online conversion. Every module is measured against real campaign data rather than assumed best practice.

Practical financial confidence for individuals and small enterprise: money mechanics, credit, tax and long-term planning. Explicitly designed for learners who were never taught to read a financial statement.

How mission-led organisations stay solvent and effective: funding strategy, governance, impact measurement and trading income. Uses live cases from small charities through to social enterprises.

For organisations and entrepreneurs entering new markets: cultural intelligence, market entry, regulation and international partnerships. Includes practical due diligence on a target market of the participant's choosing.
