Students will have access to engineering, scientific and computing facilities and laboratories to help them develop and test the viability of their business ideas. Those who begin the course without a specific proposition will be given assistance to find a suitable venture.
They will also have access to potential investors, business partners, venture capitalists and clients to help create their business plans, which will make up their final dissertation.
