Taster day: Step into the world of business (Day one)

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
