Spark Awards programme

SPARK is a step-by-step programme aimed at students from any discipline and alumni with little or no business experience providing support to explore and potentially develop an idea into a possible scalable project or venture.

At the end of six-week workshops attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of their business idea, an understanding of how to develop a basic business plan, and a first stage pitch-deck which will equip them to compete for £500 seed funding.

SPARK is for students, staff* and graduates of 7 years or under from Oxford Brookes. * NB. Staff are welcome to attend the Spark programme for learning and development purposes, but are not eligible to be allocated seed funding.

The workshops will be delivered in person at the Enterprise Centre, Tuesdays 4:00-5:30pm, 7 October -18 November.

This is the perfect opportunity for anyone that wants to just explore and idea and develop on their employment skills (networking, communication, presenting, project planning, testing and researching etc.) or go on to develop and test their idea in a low-risk way and start to build their network.
