Start-up Support.
Each year we support and inspire over 100 of our current students and recent graduates to grow and start a business as part of our vibrant start-up and innovation-driven culture.
“The privilege of being able to attend Boot Camp, gain the funding and have a mentor who I continue to seek advice on future plans for my business has enlightened me to gain a new sense of working. For someone who didn’t study a business degree, Boot Camp was invaluable for me - it helped me to gain direction when I was lost and in need - providing me with a concise, step-by-step plan of how I can achieve my goals and develop my business further. I would recommend the Boot Camp for anyone with a creative brain, who needs to learn how to use their passion to their advantage in the current times!”

Whether it is a side hustle whilst studying or equipping you for the commercial challenges of running a business full-time.
Bi-annually in June and November we deliver the Business Start-Up Boot Camp. A two-day intensive programme covering the building blocks of setting up a successful business, which provides support, advice, resources and guidance to help budding entrepreneurs create a commercially viable venture.
Participation in Boot Camp is an accredited part of the RISE at Manchester Met programme, enabling students to earn RISE Points.
Attendees can also apply for Santander Universities Entrepreneur Grants.
We offer discounted workspace for our current students and graduates and the opportunity to access our mentoring programme, seminars and masterclasses.
