This course has three key unique, challenging and enjoyable ventures embedded in its structure.
In the first year you can take part in our famous Fox's Lair® inspired by Dragons' Den, now branded to DMU. This gives you the opportunity to present a business venture in front of real entrepreneurs. You can develop and practise creative ideas, business awareness and communication skills – all of which are of vital importance for employability in today's dynamic environment.
In the second year you are taken on another 'real-life' journey, acting as a consultant for a real organisation, involving company visits, research and strategic problem solving.
Simultaneous to this you will continue to be expertly coached in the development of a real business venture.
In the third year you are encouraged to follow your 'entrepreneurial heart' in a range of new creative tasks which increase your creativity, personal esteem, your business value and competitive edge in the dynamic world of enterprise today.
