Creative enterprise and management, picked up in year 2 rather than year 1, is the shape of the BA (Hons) Business Management and Entrepreneurship at Aldgate in London. This course starts at Level 5, so completed Level 4 study worth 120 credits, or a relevant HNC or CertHE, normally comes first. Course themes include digital and strategic tools for creative entrepreneurs, project work with social, economic and environmental significance, and business theory applied to real problems. Weekday, weekend and evening options are all listed, which helps if you work or care for someone. Do not mix this up with a top-up: a top-up is the final year for HND or Level 5 holders, while this page joins at year 2. AF Education gives England-resident UK home students free help with the application and with Student Finance England.

AF Education is a free service for England-resident UK home students — not international applicants. For eligible courses, a Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to the university and a Maintenance Loan is paid to you for living costs. Eligibility depends on residency and previous study; use our free eligibility checker before you apply. If you used student finance for earlier study, that can affect what you can borrow, so we check your position first.
Check your Student Finance eligibility — free, takes about 2 minutes.
How often you study
Weekday, weekend and evening options are listed across London. Most courses AF Education supports need 1 to 2 campus days a week, usually about 2 to 4 hours a day, so many students keep working. Your exact timetable is confirmed before you enrol.
Career and progression

Course overview from University for the Creative Arts
About BA (Hons) Business Management and Entrepreneurship (Level 5)
This BA (Hons) Business Management and Entrepreneurship course at the University for the Creative Arts is recorded at Level 5, full-time, with weekday, weekend, and evening schedule options in the Business category. It is aimed at learners building creative-enterprise and management capability part-way through an undergraduate journey rather than starting a brand-new Year 1 from scratch on this particular course id.
Existing course themes emphasise digital and strategic tools for creative entrepreneurs, project work with social, economic, and environmental significance, and contemporary business theory applied to real-world problems. Imagination, analytical thinking, and communication are framed as core habits alongside entrepreneurial practice in a creative-university setting.
That combination can suit career changers already holding prior HE credit, returners progressing from a CertHE or similar, and applicants who want a business-and-entrepreneurship label inside a creative-university context. Flexible timetable notes (weekday, weekend, evening) matter if you need to combine study with work or caring responsibilities.
Do not confuse this Level 5 entry with the separate Top-Up Business Management and Entrepreneurship page: choose the award level that matches your prior credits. AF Education can help UK students check progression fit, Student Finance England implications where eligible, and which UCA business route is the honest match.
