De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) has been named as one of Britain’s top 10 universities for the most student and graduate start-ups.

Over 128 new students and graduates’ start-ups were launched in 2019/20 compared with 54 the previous year. The data, released by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) follows a rise in events and online support for entrepreneurial students across the University and comes as DMUworks launch a new website to showcase creative businesses launched by the university’s students, graduates and staff.

Building on the success of 2019/20, DMUworks Enterprise and Entrepreneurship’s team have since launched online start-up schools, a new Launchpad program for students in their third year of study or above, a Graduate Champions Startup Catapult program and much more, catering for current students as well as DMU alumni.

The DMUworks team also offers second year students the chance to complete an enterprise placement year, developing their own business idea and learning entrepreneurial skills with the University’s support and access to seed funding over a 12-month period. All of the initiatives are developed and run by the team.

The DMUworks Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Team have also led a significant increase in the number of attendees at DMU business events. These include Entrepreneurship Day and TEDx, both of which are open to the public and available to watch online. More than 20,000 engaged with the events in 2019/20.
