Are you thinking that a standard 9-5 won’t be it for you? Do you want to be your own boss?  

 

If that’s what you want, the Brunel’s own Entrepreneur Hub together with the Student Professional Development (SPD) Team are your first stop on this journey.  

The Entrepreneur Hub provides support, advice and guidance to students and graduates (from the last three years), helping develop the entrepreneurial skills you need to work freelance or to start a business.  

They offer one-to-one appointments, free advice from specialist, events and workshops and Brunel Incubator Programmes.

More information here: Entrepreneur Hub.

  • If you are thinking of starting your own business after graduating, please see information here: Entrepreneur Hub.

  • If you are thinking of having an entrepreneur placement rather than a standard industry placement, please email hub@brunel.ac.uk for more information.

 

Make sure you also familiarise yourself with a self-employed rights and responsibilities. More information can be found on the Government website here:

  • Setting up a business: Set up a business - GOV.UK.

  • Working for yourself: Working for yourself - GOV.UK.

  • Self-employed and contractor employment status: Employment status: Self-employed and contractor - GOV.UK.
