Encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship
Our 'Enterprise Education' programme is designed to help students develop the skills that will help them grow personally and professionally and promote themselves and/or their business idea. These skills, alongside an entrepreneurial mindset, are crucial for any graduates looking to embark on their future career.
Enterprise Education is not limited to just business students or students who want to set up their own business. Anyone who wants to develop innovation skills or try something new is welcome. Whether students are looking to develop skills, an idea or a business start-up, our Enterprise Education programme can help.
For the eighth year running, Kingston University has been rated among the top two most successful UK higher education institutions for graduate start-up companies (Higher Education - Business and Community Interaction Survey). This success is all thanks to our Enterprise Education scheme. For more details on how to get involved, email entrepreneurship@kingston.ac.uk.
Bright Ideas is an annual competition designed to give our students the opportunity to develop an idea, have it evaluated and win a prize of up to £1,000.
Our mentoring programme provides free support and encouragement needed to help students get their ideas off the ground.
The HackCentre programme is set up in partnership with the Santander Universities Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Fund. It encourages students to explore solutions to real-world scenarios.

Our workshops and events provide networking opportunities with distinguished entrepreneurs, business experts and like-minded students.
If you are seeking support in making your business idea a reality, then the Enterprise Fund is here to help. Successful applicants can be awarded up to £500 to develop an idea. The University also has its own Crowdfunding platform, KUBacker.
If you have any questions about the Enterprise Education programme, we will get back to you as soon as possible if you email us.
I would definitely recommend this experience to others. The skills you learn and develop will enrich your CV and benefit you in your future career.
My experience at enterprise was, and will be, very important for my future career and business development. The team gave me the tools to be successful, and has inspired and encouraged me to go the extra mile.
