The Business Start-up Journey, an inspirational 15-week programme, provides a step-by-step guide to starting a business. Working alongside other student entrepreneurs in our purpose-built facilities in the ASPIRE lab, you can test the strength of your idea and develop it until it is a fully rounded proposal.
You learn how to assess risk, turn challenges into opportunities and develop leadership, communication, presentation and teamworking skills. Great skills to have in whatever career you choose to follow.
The Business Start-up Journey is a standalone programme, additional to your degree studies.
