To help you develop your own projects and entrepreneurial endeavours, we have a number of funds available for shows and business start-ups. Since we began, these funds have contributed over £300,000 to student and graduate enterprise. These have included a variety of businesses from Theatre in Education companies to bands, arts centres and hire companies. Some of our funds are also available for social enterprises.

While you are studying with us, we have funds available to stage your own shows here and externally, including taking shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This can also mean equipment loans.

When you leave, we'll continue to support you with funds for new and growing businesses. These are designed to help you put the business plan you develop during your time here into practice. We have funds available at different stages, as your business develops. Graduates from every course have benefited from this support.
