Enterprise Centre
The Enterprise Centre has helped start up over 150 freelancers and businesses. As of September 2019, it was estimated that 120 of our graduate businesses, supported directly through our extra-curricular entrepreneurship services, were still active (with 70 surviving 3 years or more) with a combined turnover of £5.5 million, creating almost 200 full-time jobs. Our consistently high rates of start-ups per student have seen us ranked second out of twenty in our comparator group in the Knowledge Exchange Framework.
Our commitment to providing a vibrant environment for enterprise and entrepreneurship, fostering talent, and offering outstanding support and facilities for start-ups is affirmed in the new Knowledge Exchange Strategy 2020-2025.
