Would you like external advice for your enterprise and a fresh perspective? Are you currently facing any business issues or considering new opportunities for your small business or social enterprise?
If so, the Centre for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Studies at the University of Leeds would like to hear from you!
We are inviting applications from small businesses and social enterprises who would like the opportunity to work with a group of final year undergraduate students undertaking a consulting project to investigate and provide advice on an issue that is important to you. The project proposal should have a particular emphasis on business development, innovations or exploring new market opportunities.
Ritvik and the team were great ambassadors for the University—so bright, so congenial, and likely to do great things.

The Trust trialled the revised café and shop layout that the student team proposed within their final report. The feedback on the changed layout was very positive and was to be adopted during the café and shop refurbishment, during the first quarter of 2024.

Who are the students and what are they studying?
The LUBS3013 Enterprise Consultancy module is open to final year undergraduate students across the university. This module aims to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for students to acquire and develop a deep understanding of how enterprises (including social and other 3rd sector organisations) combine business practices with effecting change, specifically the creation of new opportunities. Working directly with enterprises, the student team will deliver a project to an enterprise's consultancy brief over the 6-8 week period within the module. This will develop their team-working skills, their ability to project manage and at the same time gain an in-depth understanding of how these organisations are managed. They will be expected to actively contribute to discussion and developing new ideas as part of a student consultancy team that provides advice on entrepreneurship and business development strategies.
