Students get set for next Enterprise Placement Year

The Enterprise Placement Year at DMU is an alternative to a traditional placement, where students have the opportunity to start their own business, with £3,000 financial support, taught lectures and 1-1 business mentorship from the DMUworks Enterprise & Entrepreneurship team. Students learn about the fundamental steps to successfully grow a business, whilst developing professional skills and improving their business acumen. The year is also credit baring (30 credits).

Stanley Hunter launched clothing brand Tor Edge during his Enterprise Placement Year.

Now in its third year, student businesses have included a whole range of startups including digital marketing agencies, videography services and new fashion brands.

The class of 2021/22 will include an online bakery, a new lingerie brand, a new medical tech app and a vintage clothing company.

We’ll be following the students’ progress via this blog in the coming months. Watch this space!
