Enterprise and entrepreneurship
You can develop your entrepreneurial skills in our Enterprise Zone, based in the Ron Cooke Hub
We enable students to develop enterprise skills so that they are equipped to make an impact in the future as social entrepreneurs, enterprising employees and successful business owners.
The University's Enterprise Zone is a dedicated centre for student-run businesses, with high specification computing and video-conferencing facilities based in the Ron Cooke Hub.
A programme of workshops will help you to understand the processes of business planning and management.
Mentors and business advisers are on hand to help you realise your ideas.
Proof-of-concept funding
The University also operates a proof-of-concept fund to provide financial assistance in the early-stage development of projects that show commercial potential.
The fund can make awards from £250 up to £1,000.
York Entrepreneurs Society
York Entrepreneurs is one of the largest student societies on campus and operates a regular programme of events throughout the year including 'The Apprentice', its own version of the television show.
