The HND in Business Strategy & Entrepreneurship offers a comprehensive and future-focused curriculum for individuals seeking to understand and master the complexities of business development and entrepreneurial growth. This course begins with a solid foundation in strategic management, guiding learners through the essential elements of vision setting, market analysis, and competitive positioning. Through the use of practical tools such as SWOT, PESTLE, and Porter’s Five Forces, students will gain real-world insights into strategic decision-making and planning processes.

Entrepreneurship is at the heart of this course. Students explore innovation and opportunity recognition, learning how to evaluate ideas, understand start-up ecosystems, and embrace intrapreneurship within larger organisations. Coupled with a deep dive into market dynamics, globalisation, and the UK’s legal and ethical business framework, learners will develop a robust understanding of how external environments shape enterprise success.

As the course progresses, students build competencies in financial planning, marketing strategy, and operational management—critical pillars for launching and sustaining a business. Leadership modules explore culture, ethics, and responsible governance, while the final units focus on business planning and investor pitching. Learners will finish the course with a fully developed business plan and the confidence to present it to real or simulated stakeholders. This course is perfect for learners looking to combine theory with action in a practical, portfolio-building environment.
