Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or simply curious about the world of startups, our comprehensive Startup Basics programme is tailored to meet your needs. Equip yourself with the essential knowledge, resources and guidance to kickstart your entrepreneurial journey.

Our immersive workshops bring together students and graduates from diverse disciplines and provides a supportive environment to explore your entrepreneurial potential. Meet like-minded people, learn new skills and have something to add to your CV.

You will benefit from attending all the workshops within the programme however, you are welcome to pick and mix sessions that are most relevant to you. 

For semester two Startup Basics will run in-person in January to February and online in February to March. The sessions are the same whether you take them in-person or online. 

Startup Basics is designed as a cohort programme with participants learning together and in the hopes of building a community, therefore it is strongly recommended to stick with all the workshops in cohort 3 (in-person) or all the workshops in cohort 4 (online). 

The new Digital prototyping with Figma is designed to guide students through the basics of using Figma, a powerful tool for prototyping digital interfaces and may not be applicable to all. 

You can attend these sessions with or without a startup idea. For all students and recent graduates, two years after graduation from the University of Edinburgh.

This programme will run several times throughout the academic year, mostly in-person with one session taking place online. Usually running twice in semester 1, twice in semester 2 and once over the summer.
