The University of Bath is offering support to graduates who wish to apply for the Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) Visa.
The Visa allows non-UK/EU graduates to extend their stay for 12 months after graduation to establish businesses in the UK.
If you’ve graduated within the last year and can show that you have developed a genuine and credible business idea you could qualify for the Visa . Under the scheme Visa holders will be supported by the University of Bath Innovation Centre with mentoring, training, introductions to investors as well as office space to help build their business from Bath.
Successful candidates are likely to have participated in a University business plan competition such as the MBA Entrepreneurship in Action or been a member of BANTER. Candidates may also have participated in the Bath Entrepreneurship Programme or have developed a great idea for a start-up – to apply see: www.ubic.org.uk/entrepreneur-visas
