On the link below you can find an interesting comparison of two VCPs in United Kingdom. Thanks to Nigel Adams at University of Buckingham for bringing our attention to it. Interesting findings are: Common problems of finding and attracting the “right” students, and high drop-out rate. On the positive side can be seen aspects such as positive reactions from a wide range of people, strong personal development of the students and successful employment of graduates.

Comparing the two approaches of two UK universities to teaching Business Enterprise

Our journey towards trying to map out all the VCPs in the world just started. After a phone call with a member of NACUE* (The National Consortium of University Entrepreneurs), we got a tip of four Universities in the UK that might have entrepreneurship educations that would fall into our definition of a VCP.  Short thereafter we had identified our first VCP in the UK. It is the Enterprise Development program offered at University of Huddersfield’s,  a three years VCP provided by their Business School. More information about this VCP will be found in the VCP-list.

*NACUE is a national organization that supports and represents university enterprise societies and student entrepreneurs to drive the growth of entrepreneurship across the UK.
