Overview

The The Applied Entrepreneurship (Hons) course offered by Liverpool John Moores University covers a wide range of business skills and provides the opportunity to build and test knowledge in the real world. You will learn how to turn ideas into viable businesses, how to communicate and sell to customers, how to think creatively and work collaboratively in a team and how to lead and manage a business venture. The skills and experience you will gain throughout the course will enable you to think and act entrepreneurially in a wide range of contexts.

Whether you dream of becoming the next Steven Bartlett or simply want a practical understanding of business, this unique, hands-on programme will provide you with the tools, experience and knowledge to succeed.

Your personal development is also at the centre of the programmes design and structure. The transferable skills you will acquire combined with your experience of starting and running a business will position you well within the competitive graduate market.

Based on the successful Finnish Team Academy, this programme is very different from your traditional degree; instead of attending lectures you will be learning by applying business skills. Liverpool Business School is the first business school in the North West to offer this type of degree course.

Employability

Armed with practical, hands on experience in a simulated workplace environment, you will have the skills, confidence and qualification to secure employment.

Graduates from the programme will be well positioned to develop business ventures and work for themselves and evidence from established Team Academy based programmes suggest that this is a common route taken (46% of graduates are running their own businesses six months after graduation in Jyvaskyla, Finland).

Graduates will also be in a good position to seek employment in a range of careers, due to their demonstrable work experience and business acumen. Practical skills gained on the course will enable you to pursue a diverse range of careers in the business sector, including HR, marketing and project management.

Entrepreneurial skills are increasingly sought after by employers who are developing a workforce that is agile, solution focused, creatively minded and able to respond to the challenges of a shifting economic landscape.
