The IDEA programme is now in its sixth year.

You don’t need to have a business idea to get involved. There will be plenty of time for us to help you work with others to shape an idea to work on.

The live programme will be subject to applications with successful teams receiving a bursary to cover their accommodation costs in order to be on campus for six weeks. 

The programme is open to all returning students (ie. not graduating this summer) studying with:

• School of Business and Economics
• Wolfson School
• Aeronautical, Automotive, Chemical and Materials Engineering
• School of Science
• School of Sport, Exercise and Health Exercise
