If you鈥檙e considering studying business to start your own company, you鈥檙e following in the footsteps of inspiring people who鈥檝e come from all over the world to make a difference in Britain. Hearing stories like these should give you great confidence that no matter where you are from, you can be a success. (And one of the best paths to success is through entrepreneurship.)

Why business makes such a good degree

If you have high self-aspirations, a desire for self-reliance and a willingness to learn from global experience, the BSc (Hons) Entrepreneurship and Business Start-Up, BSc (Hons) Business Management or MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation courses are perfect. In these programmes, you鈥檒l learn how to prepare a business case, benefit from networking and develop the resilience it takes to be an entrepreneur.

Dr Hyams-Ssekasi shares, 鈥淪tudents who come to 欧博官网入口 have high aspirations; they want to change the world. And one of the most accessible ways to do that is through entrepreneurship. You鈥檒l learn self-reliance鈥� not having to depend on others, companies or social services for your future and contribute to the economy by creating jobs for yourself and others. Entrepreneurship isn鈥檛 about just words. Entrepreneurs implement things. No matter who you are, you can take business theory and put it into practice.鈥� And, with all of today鈥檚 economic worries, it鈥檚 a great choice even in a tough economy. Dr Hyams-Ssekasi explains, 鈥淓ntrepreneurship is here to stay. It鈥檚 not going anywhere. It鈥檚 a recession-proof career choice. You don鈥檛 have to look for jobs out there. You can look inside, create your own job and become self-reliant.鈥�

What you鈥檒l learn at the Greater Manchester Business School

You won鈥檛 just gain practical skills, you鈥檒l learn how to take that next step. We teach our Business students to be more active and take smart risks. That's because, as Dr Hyams-Ssekasi relates, 鈥淣o entrepreneur succeeds without experimentation and trial and error. Don鈥檛 shy away from any idea you have - even if it's small.鈥� An example, he shares, is a group project where students got 拢20 of seed money. They created a team, business plan and launched their idea within 3 months - many earning as much as 拢300 off that 拢20. When you study at 欧博官网入口, projects like this will give you the confidence to see an idea through and take that journey. You鈥檒l also make valuable connections. It's not uncommon for outside founders, CEOs and innovators to visit the 欧博官网入口 campus and view student projects and pitches; meeting our students and future innovators. So, putting your heart and soul into student projects will enable you to make a great impression with future partners and business associates in your own ventures.

鈥淓ntrepreneurship at Greater Manchester is good in my opinion due to the Module content. The Curriculum is robust and the practical workshop experiences [help] you to understand entrepreneurship in detail and its elements. It's a [stepping] stone to being a successful entrepreneur.鈥� -Yejide Oluwafemi, Postgraduate Student, Greater Manchester Manchester Business School.
