Looking for an opportunity to develop your freelance career or start your own business?

Cardiff University Enterprise and Start-up are offering a desk space and mentoring for students or graduates in one of three exciting co-working spaces. You will also receive structured support from a Business Mentor and a financial stipend, either to invest in the venture or to help cover personal costs.  

YMLAEN (pronounced um-line) is Welsh for ONWARDS. YMLAEN placements will be structured with goals and milestones agreed with our Business Mentor. Because of this, students will be eligible to undertake YMALEN in two ways:

  1. Students or graduates participating in the Enterprise & Start-up Team’s Start-up Support Package: 

The experience will be structured around their progress through the package.

2. Students who are undertaking a modular placement: 

The experience will be structured against the module requirements and learning. 

Applications are open now. To apply fill in the attached form telling us how you would maximise this opportunity in 500 words and send it, along with your CV, to enterprise@cardiff.ac.uk by midnight on Friday 28th February 2020. Interviews will be heldon Wednesday 11th March.
