Student enterprise

Find out about the opportunities and support available to students who wish to develop their own business, during or after their studies in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences. You can also find out about other opportunities to enhance your skills, employability and make a difference.

Students within SSEHS study a diverse range of programmes, but they share a common desire to succeed at the highest level. The term ‘student enterprise’ describes the impressive range of activities that SSEHS students are doing when they engage with others to develop and deliver ideas that innovate.
