About Bachelor of Business in Enterprise

Application:  CAO

What is Business - Enterprise?

This dynamic and student-centred programme will help you to succeed either as an entrepreneur or as a professional decision-maker in the business world.

The teaching approach is practical. Students run their own businesses in each of the three years. The businesses are: stalls in Dun Laoghaire People’s Park (year 1), an online business on eBay (year 2) and a social enterprise (year 3). These businesses are assessed across a number of subjects. Lecturers provide ongoing feedback. Continuous assessment exceeds 80% of total assessment.
