Bachelor of Entrepreneurship (BEntr)

Entrepreneurship is about more than founding startups. Existing businesses need entrepreneurial thinkers too. So do non-profit social and environmental enterprises, and iwi and Pacific communities. Building on Ōtepoti Dunedin's unique entrepreneurial ecosystem, the BEntr is designed to enable careers that involve developing novel solutions to important challenges facing the world. The programme reflects the Otago Business School's commitment to accelerating ventures that are for the good of people and the planet.

Why Study Entrepreneurship?

Gain business skills. Grow your entrepreneurial behaviour. Nurture your can-do spirit and creative mindset. Be your own boss! Generate value and share it with the world. You can apply your entrepreneurial behaviour to start a business, make a small business large, or make an organisation of any size more productive.

Career Opportunities

Realise Your Ideas To Create Value In The Real World By:

• founding your own startup
• working for a rapidly growing startup in Aotearoa New Zealand or overseas
• growing innovative iwi organisations
• providing innovation-focused services in job roles that do not yet exist
• joining an innovation-focused team working in any sized organisation or any sector of the economy, including for-profit, non-profit and public sectors

Enterprises that develop new products and services across every sector of the economy require the skills of critically evaluating and communicating value principles and new ideas. Wherever “business as usual” is not producing good enough results, entrepreneurial thinking is needed and is in hot demand.
