The Innovation Hub is a unique placement opportunity open to students from all disciplines. Whether you already have a business idea or simply want to develop new skills and explore future career options, this programme is for you.

From 25 January to 27 April 2027, you'll be based in the Media Cube, where you'll receive your own dedicated hot desk, one-to-one mentoring, and practical training in AI, sales, marketing, finance, and entrepreneurship. You'll also have the opportunity to shadow and work alongside a start-up company, gaining real-world experience in a dynamic business environment.

Throughout the programme, you'll be supported by experienced mentors who will help you build valuable professional skills, expand your network, and develop your confidence. If you have your own business or project idea, we'll help you explore and develop it too.

The programme concludes with a Final Pitch Event on 27 April, where participants will showcase their learning and achievements, with certificates and prizes awarded on the day.

No business idea required. Just curiosity, ambition, and a willingness to learn.
