Enterprise Excel Programme

• Would you like to enhance your self-confidence and interpersonal skills?
• Would you like to be a more creative and innovative thinker?
• Would you like to examine the techniques of personal projection and become an influencer?
• Do you have an idea that you think could attract commercial or research funding?
• Do you have an idea for a business but need the know-how to convert it into a realistic business plan?
• Would you like to run your own business or research centre some day, or indeed engage with those entrepreneurial individuals that have already done so?

As a former Entrepreneurial University of the year (2009), Queen’s University is committed to the development of entrepreneurial skills and behaviour across its student population.


Postgraduate Research Students have access to a range of training events in this area as well as the opportunity to enter Business Competitions such as the Northern Ireland Science Park Connect £25k Award (www.nisp.co.uk) and the All-Island Student Enterprise Award.
