Students can expect:

  • Opportunities to work with local, international and established businesses.
  • Support and advice for starting your own business.
  • Real experience, solving current business issues through innovative thinking.
  • To establish contacts within the business and enterprise community.
  • Encouragement to explore different career types,
  • Encouragement for enterprising and innovative thinking.

Want to start your own business?

The Centre for Enterprise staff will support a student and help develop their business idea. We also have links with The Prince's Trust, Chamber of Commerce, and other business start-up and support organisations.

Enterprise Inc is a non-academic programme part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund to support final year students and recent graduates to start their own business. The support is given through workshops, seminars, networking, one-to-one business advice, mentoring and events, as well as a cash bursary.
