Business Creativity

We strive to provide you with an education that will equip you with the skills and capabilities for your future career or indeed your career development. We recognise the importance of creativity and innovation in business education and all our students are exposed to a variety of business creation, innovation and entrepreneurial related modules.

For example, most of our full-time, on campus undergraduate students undertake a Business Ideas and Opportunities module which provides you with the opportunity to develop your business creativity by working in multidisciplinary teams. You can further develop these ideas in the third year of your programme by spending time in the University’s Accelerator unit.
