The Study Mind Business & Entrepreneurship programme was an amazing experience! I really enjoyed the Business Model Canvas workshop, where we got to develop our own start-up ideas and pitch them. The visit to the Business Hub was so insightful. The programme was interactive, engaging, and has made me even more excited to study business at university!

I loved how hands-on this programme was! The sales and negotiation skills session was my favourite because we got to role-play real-life business scenarios. It was fun but also taught me a lot about confidence and persuasion. The mentors were really supportive, and the final Dragon’s Den-style pitch made me feel like a real entrepreneur. I now feel much more prepared for my future in business!

This was such an inspiring and well-organised programme! The branding and marketing session was a highlight for me, as we got to analyse top brands and create our own marketing campaigns. The field trip to the London Business Hub gave us a real insight into how businesses operate in the real world. I also found the UCAS and career planning session super helpful - it gave me a clear direction for my next steps!
