Academic support

About Enterprise and the Enterprise Team 

Enterprising thinking and skills are important for all students because they support personal and career success, whether that means starting a business or standing out in a competitive jobs market. 

The University aims that all students are enterprising and includes this capability in its Teaching and Learning Strategy and its Huddersfield Graduate Attributes Framework.  

The University also aims that students who are interested in starting a business, setting up as a freelancer, or who have a side project that might have enterprise potential are connected with the Enterprise Team and understand what support is available, such as 121 advice, start-up programmes, grants, events and workshops.  

The Enterprise Team has a bank of resources to support academic and support colleagues to understand and embed enterprise and to encourage students to join extra-curricular enterprise activities and programmes.
