What is Business - Entrepreneurship?

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 combines theory and practice. Continuous assessment is a significant aspect of this programme. Students run their own businesses in each of the first three years. The businesses are: stalls in Dun Laoghaire People’s Park (year 1), an online business (year 2) and a social enterprise (year 3). These businesses are assessed across a number of subjects. Year 4 takes a strategic perspective on business learning.
