Can the Careers Service help me start a side hustle whilst I study?

Yes, our START UP advisers can help you with starting a side-hustle or a business idea that you can work on alongside your studies.

We have launched our very own dynamic pop-up shop based in King’s Gate to support students who have a side-hustle.

This is a fantastic opportunity to:

• Showcase Your Talent - Display your products in a bespoke retail space.
• Gain Real-World Experience - Learn the ins and outs of running a retail business.
• Expand Your Network - Connect with fellow student entrepreneurs and potential customers.
• Boost Your Brand - Increase visibility and grow your customer base.

How to Apply:

Visit our pop-up shop website and fill out our enquiry form or book an appointment with a START UP adviser to discuss your ideas, no idea is too small!

You can contact the START UP team by booking an online or in person appointment or submitting a query through MyCareer.
