Are you a student/recent graduate interested in starting a business or in an early stage startup? Enterprisers, delivered by the University of Cambridge, could give you an unfair advantage!

The basics:-

Students of ANY academic discipline  and ANY level of degree or department can apply for these Informatics Ventures sponsored places. So this includes Undergraduates, Post Graduates, Masters and Doctoral students.

Students from ANY Scottish University can apply for these Informatics Ventures sponsored places.

Recent graduates can also apply.

If you are interested in attending you can:-

The Enterprisers programme is aimed at ambitious and energetic individuals. The programme is fun, action-orientated, practical and based on experiential learning, i.e learning by doing. It is about inspiring people to develop entrepreneurial skills and a ‘can do’ attitude with the confidence to make things happen. Combine this with the best experience in entrepreneurship education over a 4-day residential course and the result is an educational experience that celebrates diversity, builds self-confidence and creates meaningful relationships between individuals who are, through their choosing, our future industry leaders.

 

The experience debunks many barriers they perceive about venturing and empowers individuals to realise that they can be entrepreneurial in their environment. The programme is very much based on experiential learning - knowledge, activity and reflection. The results are equally applicable and valuable to start-up businesses, established mid-sized businesses, large corporate organisations or universities and in any sector, public, private or not-for-profit.
