Do you want to enhance your career progression? Or maybe you want to develop your existing knowledge further as a step towards a Masters degree. A Postgraduate Certificate in Management and Entrepreneurship is the perfect opportunity to acquire knowledge over a shorter period than a traditional postgraduate degree.

Whether you want to improve your prospects as a leader in the private sector or carve out your own path as an entrepreneur, our PG Cert Management and Entrepreneurship degree will equip you with everything you need to succeed.
Your strong theoretical understanding will enable you to critically evaluate and utilise appropriate methods of management. You will keep up to date with the ever changing and evolving professional businesses practices and the wider issues impacting the business environment.

By the end of the programme, you’ll be able to harness your new knowledge and skills to progress further on your chosen career path.

You’ll develop practical enterprising skills that will support your progression in this field. We’ll also provide you with the opportunities to enhance your data analysis and decision-making skills, enabling you to make more secure, evidence-based choices.

How you'll study

The course is delivered via workshops, seminars and lectures.

The assessment strategy consists of a business case study and a personal business plan with a linked presentation.

Who will be teaching you

All modules are delivered by experienced lecturers and professors who have research specialism and/or professional experience in their subject matter.

You can expect to receive your timetable at enrolment. Please note that while we make every effort to ensure that timetables are as student-friendly as possible, scheduled teaching can take place on any day or evening of the week.

Where your course includes optional modules, these are to provide an element of choice within the course curriculum. The availability of optional modules may vary from year to year and will be subject to minimum student numbers being achieved. This means that the availability of specific optional modules cannot be guaranteed. Optional module selection may also be affected by timetabling requirements. Some restrictions on optional module choice or combinations of optional modules may apply.

Entry criteria

A lower honours degree attainment may be admitted where you can provide evidence of experience and/or prior learning at the discretion of the department.

You may be invited to an interview.

Overseas qualifications will be assessed using ECCTIS (formerly NARIC) to ascertain comparability.

Please note, the above examples may differ from actual offers made. A combination of A Level and BTEC awards may also be accepted.

If you have a minimum of two A Levels (or equivalent), there is no maximum number of qualifications that we will accept UCAS points from.
