Our degree with foundation year could be the stepping stone you need to achieve your goals. The foundation year aims to prepare you for degree-level study and is a great way to build the confidence, skills and knowledge needed to succeed on your degree course.
The foundation year will introduce you to the world of business with a strong focus on management, business communications and marketing in a global context. It creates opportunities for you to develop vital business skills, as well as preparing you for study at undergraduate level. You will put theory, both traditional and contemporary, into practice with real-world scenarios.
The degree applies the concept of an ‘entrepreneurial mindset’ to the domain of business management. You will explore the global significance of enterprise and entrepreneurship, and have the chance to develop the entrepreneurial competencies required for a future career in entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship.
BA Enterprise and Entrepreneurship student Cosmina talks about her app, how she is tackling plastic waste and how the course is helping her develop her business plan.
The Enterprise and Entrepreneurship BA (Hons) degree aims to facilitate the development of your enterprising potential and support you in gaining transferable skills and capabilities to position yourself as innovative thinkers and entrepreneurial leaders.
You will learn how to create an entrepreneurial idea, review the feasibility of this idea and formulate a viable business plan within the supportive environment of the Coventry University eco-system. The course offers a balance of theory and practice to enable you, upon graduation, to contribute to regional development and competitiveness by setting up new businesses/projects or leading on innovation practices within existing businesses/projects.
We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.
The lecturers have a very dynamic approach, no two classes are the same. The lecturers have always been supportive of all my business ideas, making me either realise that it is worth taking forward or making me understand that not all business ideas are good for implementation.

The course is a mixture of theory and practice because to be an effective entrepreneur or intrapreneur you need to apply contextualised solutions. The course aims to offer you the opportunity to undertake a live entrepreneurial project2 and in doing so, gain transferable skills to boost your employability prospects. We aim to expose you to the skills and entrepreneurial capabilities needed for future employment with guided individual and group projects, and through the analysis of real entrepreneurial cases. Innovatively, you can expect to have the chance to learn through your own actions on self-directed negotiated projects such as venture creation and consultancy activities2.
