Course description

The Faculty of Business gives you a clear introduction to the fundamentals of enterprise. Across two weeks you’ll explore entrepreneurship, finance, marketing and management, building the knowledge and confidence to approach business with a strategic mindset.

The course develops practical understanding of how businesses plan and grow. You’ll learn the principles of market analysis, financial forecasting and business planning, applying them to scenarios where clear thinking and quick decisions matter.

Learning is hands-on. You’ll take part in simulations, workshops and case studies that reflect the challenges faced by professionals in fast-changing markets. These activities strengthen your ability to problem-solve, make decisions and present ideas persuasively.

Collaboration is central to the programme. You’ll work in groups to design projects, pitch ideas and respond to challenges, while also learning from experienced mentors who share insight from their own careers.

Studying business at Dukes Cambridge prepares you for a range of future paths. Whether you aim to launch your own venture, contribute to global companies or lead teams, this programme equips you with the skills and knowledge to succeed.
