Entrepreneurial Masterclasses

Masterclasses are for everyone

Showing that entrepreneurship can arise from any subject or profession, we host a Masterclass aimed at each school within the University every academic year. Tickets are always free and open to anyone, within and out of the University.

Our speakers tell us about their experiences along their career paths but also angle their Masterclass towards a specific area of their success to give the audience key takeaways and greater insight. With every Masterclass, there's always time to ask any burning questions and often chances to network once the talk is finished.
