Join us for our exciting end-of-year taster event, designed to give students a taste of the fast-paced, creative, and problem-solving world of business.
Two action-packed days, attend one or both – you choose.
Day 1 – Build a Business
Turn a spark of an idea into a business reality. Students will collaborate in teams to create their own business pop-up – from brainstorming on a post-it to presenting a full business plan. This interactive workshop focuses on:
* Creative thinking
* Team building
* Entrepreneurial skills
* Pitching with confidence
Students will end the day by pitching their big idea to real-life entrepreneur and judge, Matt Sanger.
Day 2 – Business in Crisis: Heathrow Airport Challenge
Step into the shoes of a crisis response team and tackle a real-world business emergency. When fire and power outages strike Heathrow Airport, how do you manage the chaos?
*Teams will be tasked with:
*Crisis management
*Strategic thinking
*Communication and PR planning
*Reputation and financial recovery
Students solutions will be judged by Michelle Merry, former Heathrow Operations Manager and now Deputy Head of our Business Department – someone who’s faced these challenges in real life.
Who Should Attend?
These days are ideal for post-exam students considering Business, Marketing, Management, or Entrepreneurship degrees. They will experience real university-style learning, get hands-on with real business scenarios and meet like-minded students from across the region
