BA (Hons) Business Management and Entrepreneurship (Top-Up)

University for the Creative Arts

Finishing an honours degree in business with an entrepreneurship emphasis is the BA (Hons) Business Management and Entrepreneurship (Top-Up). You normally need a relevant HND, Foundation Degree or other Level 5 credit; this is not a year-2 Level 4 join and not a master’s. Full-time weekday, weekend and evening patterns are listed at Aldgate in London so working adults can match a timetable. Subject notes mirror a final-stage business route rather than fashion or music awards at the same campus group. AF Education confirms the exact top-up mapping before you enrol and does not guarantee a venture or a job. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with Student Finance England.

Who this course is for

This suits people with an HND, foundation degree or other Level 5 qualification who want to finish a bachelor’s degree in this subject.

Entry routes for mature students

Entry normally needs a relevant HND, Foundation Degree or Level 5 qualification, or equivalent credit. You cannot start this top-up without Level 5 study behind you. AF Education confirms the exact requirements before you apply.

Funding 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

AF Education does not guarantee jobs or progression. Completing the top-up gives you a full bachelor’s degree, which can support progress in related roles or further study.

Course overview from University for the Creative Arts

About BA (Hons) Business Management and Entrepreneurship (Top-Up)

The BA (Hons) Business Management and Entrepreneurship Top-Up at the University for the Creative Arts is a full-time final-stage undergraduate route for students who already hold appropriate Level 5 credit and want to complete an honours degree. Schedule options include weekday, weekend, and evening teaching in the Business category for learners balancing study with other commitments.

Subject emphasis mirrors UCA's creative-enterprise approach: digital and strategic tools, projects with social and economic relevance, and an enquiring, analytical style of business learning aimed at entrepreneurial capability. The top-up format is typically shorter than a full three-year BA because you enter at the final stage based on prior study assessed by the university.

This page suits mature learners and career changers finishing an undergraduate award after a foundation degree, HND, or similar Level 5 qualification, especially those who prefer a creative-sector business context over a purely corporate campus brand.

If you still need Level 5 study first, use the sibling Level 5 Business Management and Entrepreneurship course instead. AF Education can help UK home students map prior qualifications, discuss funding eligibility carefully, and choose between top-up and earlier-stage UCA business pathways.

BA (Hons) Business Management and Entrepreneurship (Top-Up) is available at London. Campus details and map links are below.
