Education and enterprise go hand in hand and so I was very excited to hear about a new undergraduate course specifically designed for students from the Isle of Man.

Manx students on the “Enterprise & Entrepreneurship”  BA/Bsc course would study for two years at Coventry University and return to the Isle of Man for their final year at the International Business School, where they would start their new venture with the support of the Isle of Man Business & Innovation Centre as well as local mentors / advisors.

I think this brings a fantastic opportunity for people to fast track business success and gain skills and experience in a supportive environment and as part of a cohort, whilst making the most out of the the opportunities offered by the Isle of Man.

Interested? Contact me at the BIC. You heard it here first.
