BA (Hons) Sports Business and Entrepreneurship
This ground-breaking course provides three years of hands-on experience of setting up and running your own business alongside your studies.
If you love sport, and want to learn more about setting up and running your own projects and ventures, this course is ideal.
Ran in partnership with the University of the West of England our BA (Hons) Sports Business and Entrepreneurship course is a radically different degree for those looking to study entrepreneurship in a leading sports business environment.
You'll be based at Ashton Gate Stadium, with access to the stadium's impressive facilities, staff, coaching and networking. Based in your own office environment, you'll develop projects, attend meetings, manage budgets and build useful skills and contacts.
Inspired by the pioneering Finnish 'Team Academy' approach, UWE Bristol was among the first to introduce this type of course to the UK. It's particularly relevant if you're looking for a practical, hands-on approach, and the chance to take charge of your own studies, with the possibility of earning your own income alongside gaining valuable experience.
In the first few weeks you'll form a team company of up to 20 students, and work on real projects, with support from leading experts at the Foundation. There are no formal lectures; instead your team company will run its own training sessions with support from an experienced team coach. You'll also have access to mentors and other professionals, as well as internal opportunities, workshops and personal development sessions to grow your ideas and potential.
Throughout the course, you'll provide evidence of how you have learned from your projects and your study. You'll work within your own team company, supported by your team coach, to share and develop your learning.
Get used to: keeping work hours, managing day-to-day challenges, dealing with customers and clients, and learn how a real business works. Learn by doing real work on real projects, alongside other members of your team company.
This applied course prepares you for work in the same way a graduate development programme does, ensuring you'll be a confident, motivated and resilient graduate. You'll know your strengths, interests and aspirations. You'll have key skills and valuable contacts to hit the ground running in your career.
You'll graduate with diverse and exciting career options. You could set up your own business-related venture or apply what you've learnt to work for another organisation.
