The University of Southampton organises a whole programme of events to encourage everyone to be more enterprising, whether looking to start a new business or working for someone else.

Events include residential boot camps, business simulation workshops, 'apprentice' style challenges and you can also see listings to external events which might be of interest. If you want, you can book a business surgery to discuss your business ideas on a Wednesday afternoon.

To find out more go to the Student Enterprise at Southampton University website.

The University are hoping to launch a SIFE team in October. A Business Advisory Board will be put in place to advise and mentor the team.

Anyone can take part, and there will be plenty of different projects to get involved with. If you are interested in getting involved please email studententerprise@soton.ac.uk and we can put you in touch with the Team Leader, or join the facebook group.
