Academic Director of the Centre, Professor Lebene Soga argues that while entrepreneurship may have elements of science or art, what we must pursue is that entrepreneurship is a practice.
Whereas it is okay to say that not every student at university desires to be an entrepreneur, our philosophy is that all students must develop an entrepreneurial mindset. This is because entrepreneurial students, compared with their non-entrepreneurial counterparts…
- Are more employable
- Possess stronger problem-solving skills
- Are more innovative
- See opportunities in failure
- Are more opportunity aware
- Are more intrapreneurial within organisations
- Deliver change more readily
- …inter alia!
The Leeds Centre for Entrepreneurship and Knowledge Exchange supports students and the university community in a number of ways as part of its activities. These include our Business Lab, which is open to all Leeds Beckett University students and graduates! Take advantage of this opportunity to launch your own business ideas.
