DMU named in the Top 10 Universities for student and graduate start-ups
De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) has been named as one of Britain’s top 10 universities for the most student and graduate start-ups.
Some 128 new student and graduate start-ups were launched from DMU in 2019/20 compared with 54 the previous year. The data, released by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) follows a rise in events and online support for entrepreneurial students across DMU and comes as DMUworks launch a new website to showcase creative businesses launched by the university’s students, graduates and staff.
Building on the success of 2019/20, DMUworks Enterprise and Entrepreneurship’s team have since launched online start-up schools, a new Launchpad programme for students in their third year of study or above, a Graduate Champions Startup Catapult programme and much more, catering for current students as well as DMU alumni.
