Business start-up workshops
Our online and in-person business start-up workshops are designed to give you an insight into what running your own business will be like.
The workshops will give you practical advice and tips for dealing with the things you will encounter when thinking about, and starting, a new commercial venture.
They are open to all our students and graduates.

Online workshops
If you can’t make the in-person workshops or would prefer to watch them online, recorded versions are also available.
When you register, we will email login details to your email address within 48 hours. From then on, the workshops will be available for you to access at any time.
The workshops are in short bite-sized chunks, are easy to digest and follow, and you can dip in and out of them at your own pace.
