OUR STUDENTS
At BEIU our BSc Business Enterprise (BBE) students are our top priority. We work with a diverse range of students on the BBE programme to help them start the business that they must run as part of their honours degree. Would you like to be one of them?
OUR PODCASTS
Why not listen to our Podcasts and hear our graduates’ experiences on and after the BBE programme? Our alumni talk about what they learned and how they have gone on to postgraduate study, to start their own business or to gain more experience with exciting employers.
About Us
Opening its door in November 2018 the Vinson Building has two floors dedicated to the Enterprise Hub, providing an incubator space for start-up ventures and a work area for students, and their businesses, to thrive.
The ground floor of the Enterprise Hub offers a computer work area for Business Enterprise students and the first floor is a large open plan space, equipped with all the essentials – whiteboards, storage space and beanbags and it is the perfect space for hosting talks and seminars.
In partnership with Buckinghamshire Business First, the Enterprise Hub is open to local businesses as a hot-desking facility, providing a flexible, temporary workspace to allow businesses to grow, collaborate and build broader connections with other professionals using the co-working space.
The Buckingham Enterprise Hub is a different kind of work environment, combining learning space with business space. This unique blend may help you rethink your business and inspire you to change the way you do things.
