Santander Universities hosted University of Kent students at their headquarters in central London this week.
Students enjoyed a Financial Masterclass from Santander’s Regional Director for the South-East. The talk covered topics around the basics of beginning trading, sources of capital and how they can be applied to different types of businesses.
Talent Cupboard, a Graduate Employment Facilitator, delivered a second session which explored digital marketing techniques and approaching growth and targets.
The event at Santander followed this year’s success of the KBS Business Start-Up Journey (BSUJ). The BSUJ saw almost 200 students engaged in a programme of activities to accelerate their business idea.
Students and staff look forward to moving into the new Academic Building in early 2017 and making use of a new enterprise facility – the Accelerator Space for Innovation and Responsible Enterprise (ASPIRE). ASPIRE will facilitate BSUJ activity and support research into entrepreneurship.
