Year in Enterprise

Loughborough’s Placement Year in Enterprise is a scheme that enables students with a business idea to turn it into a reality with the help and support of the University.

Students take the Year in Enterprise option in between the second and third year of their degree programme as an alternative to the traditional placement year or study abroad.

Training courses and mentoring are provided so that the student can make the most of their year.
