Entrepreneurship Development Centre
Empowering innovators, entrepreneurs and future leaders through entrepreneurship development and real industry exposure.
MMU provides funding opportunities and business development support to encourage students to explore entrepreneurship, establish startups, and develop sustainable business ventures. Through the MMU StartUp Scheme and MMU Small Business Scheme, students can gain practical business experience, test their business ideas, and develop entrepreneurial competencies.
The MMU StartUp Scheme provides financial assistance to eligible MMU students to initiate, develop, and grow their business ventures
The MMU Small Business Scheme provides opportunities for active MMU students to establish and operate small businesses within the university campus.
Idea pitching programmes provide students with platforms to present, test, and develop their business ideas through structured activities, competitions, bootcamps, and challenges.
The Entrepreneurship Development Programme equips students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset required to identify business opportunities, develop innovative solutions, validate market demand, and establish viable business models.
Entrepreneurship apprenticeship programmes provide students with opportunities to gain practical exposure to business operations, industry practices, customer engagement, and workplace challenges.
Through industry collaborations and business attachments, students can learn directly from operating businesses, understand how organisations create value, and develop competencies that are difficult to acquire through classroom learning alone.
Entrepreneur Cadetship (eCadet) is a initiative by MMU which aims to produce a dynamic and resilient student entrepreneur. This programme aims to groom students into market-ready entrepreneurial talent that enables them to become a founder with high value startups.
The objective of the programme is to provide MMU students with early exposure to entrepreneurship culture and environment to enable them to have real experience within the ecosystem and gain insights on the realities of the business world.
The Entrepreneurial Quotient Profiling System is a tool designed to assess students’ entrepreneurial potential and enhance self-awareness by identifying their individual strengths and capabilities based on established entrepreneurship frameworks.
It helps students understand their entrepreneurial roles as a Hacker (technical and problem-solving skills), Hustler (business, leadership, and execution), or Hipster (creativity, design, and user experience).
Through this profiling, students can better understand their strengths, improve collaboration, and form balanced startup teams, ultimately supporting their personal development and increasing their potential for startup success.
