Entrepreneurial St Andrews

Today, more than ever, there is a need for invention, imagination and collaboration. At St Andrews, we want to support the best ideas from the brightest minds and work together to nurture entrepreneurial spirit.

Through Entrepreneurial St Andrews we are siphoning academic excellence into sustainable, social and commercial innovation. We want to apply our world-leading research to identify problems and find solutions.

The University is investing in the Eden Campus to establish a regional focus for innovation, with the Entrepreneurship Centre on site to provide start-up opportunities, practical training courses and events. The Eden Campus also nurtures spin-outs, supporting regeneration at a local level and groundbreaking, innovative research at a national level.

Entrepreneurship Centre

At its heart is the Entrepreneurship Centre, which opened in September 2021. So far it has provided over 200 students, academics and professional services staff with everything from the practical training programmes, resources and expert mentoring advice required to turn ideas into reality.

Entrepreneurial Education

Students remain at the core of all that we do. They have access to Entrepreneurial Education initiatives, which have been introduced to the core curriculum across all faculties. This approach is opening doors to all students and teaching the concepts of entrepreneurship.

How you can support us

Help enable the University to develop a culture of pioneering ideas and groundbreaking technologies. We need your time, your influence and your philanthropy to help us shape the future and leave a legacy for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
