Course Overview

The BSc in Entrepreneurship at the London School of International Business and Management (LSIBM) is a three-year UK honours degree for undergraduates intent on founding or joining an early-stage UK venture within a year of graduation. Sitting inside the Business & Management faculty, the degree combines academic entrepreneurship theory with IOEE senior founder-development content, FSB scaling guidance and Institute of Consulting practitioner practice, and closes with a dissertation and an applied fundraise capstone.

You will undertake a live trading project in year two (with a working UK founder), an optional venture-building strand in year three, and defend your final-year dissertation and fundraise capstone in front of a working practitioner panel — a UK angel, a small-business banker or an enterprise adviser. The BSc in Entrepreneurship is available on-campus in central London, fully online with UK / APAC cohort calls, and by distance learning from 2026.

Key Features

Curriculum reviewed against senior IOEE founder-development content and Institute of Consulting practitioner material, so the degree lands in front of UK founder-community audiences.
Three study modes — central London campus, fully online with UK / APAC cohort calls, or distance learning.
Year-two live trading project with a working UK founder.
Optional venture-building strand — students may graduate with a trading business.
Structured placement route — a UK scale-up, an angel network, a Chamber of Commerce or a small-business bank.
Dissertation and fundraise capstone reviewed by a working practitioner in the final year.

What You Will Learn

The degree organises entrepreneurship around the working questions a UK founder faces — is the idea real, will people pay, how does it scale, how does it fund, how does it hire, and how does it exit. You will graduate operating as a credible early-stage UK founder or operator.

Idea validation, customer development and commercial evidence.
Business modelling — canvas, unit economics, sensitivity.
UK fundraising — SEIS, EIS, VCT, angel networks, seed VC.
Term-sheet basics — valuation, dilution, control.
Corporate governance for the scale-up.
Financial planning at scale — 3-year P&L, runway, burn.
Sales-process design and enterprise selling.
Intellectual property strategy.
Research skills, dissertation method and fundraise capstone.

Who This Course Is For

A-level leavers intent on founding rather than joining a graduate scheme.
International students building a UK venture during study.
Career switchers using the mature-applicant portfolio route.
Family-business successors preparing to lead a growth cycle.
Working founders formalising an academic UK credential.

Career Pathways

Graduates typically progress as founders, senior operators inside UK growth ventures, and enterprise advisers. The degree supports applications and founder outcomes but does not by itself guarantee business success or visa outcomes. Typical destinations include:

Founder / CEO of a UK Venture
Co-Founder
Startup Operator (senior generalist)
Enterprise Adviser
Innovation Consultant
Angel Investor Associate

The BSc in Entrepreneurship is the natural step onto LSIBM's MSc in Business Transformation or MSc in Applied Strategic Management, and supports IOEE Member progression.

Entry Requirements

Three A-levels at BBC or above, or equivalent UK / international qualification (IB 28+, BTEC DMM, Access to HE, Foundation Year pass, or a relevant Higher Diploma with confirmed credit transfer). A founder story or portfolio is welcomed in the personal statement.
GCSE English Language at grade 5/C and Mathematics at grade 4/C (or equivalent).
IELTS 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0) for non-native English speakers.
A personal statement showing genuine curiosity about the discipline (relevant work, extended reading, professional-body engagement) — mature applicants (21+) may enter with a portfolio and a short interview.
