🌟 We are the Student Enterprise Team at BCU! 🌟 We are here to help students and graduates explore, experiment, and bring great ideas to life. Being entrepreneurial means more than just starting a business. It's about spotting opportunities, solving problems, and being a go-getter. 💡 We've got loads of events and programmes to help you build these skills, whether you're thinking about starting a business now or later on, exploring self-employment, or just wanting to make a big impact in your career. 💼

🎄✨ The Birmingham City University STEAMhouse Christmas Marketplace was a fantastic opportunity for our students and graduates. As Yu Jin (Graduate and BSEEN alumni) shared: "Participating in the STEAMhouse Christmas Market was a fantastic experience for me and my business. It allowed me to showcase my work to a wider audience, connect with supportive customers, and gain valuable insights. Making sales at the market gave me a real boost of confidence in my designs." We're busy elves this year, preparing for more pop-up markets around campus in 2025!
