Connect, create and collaborate – join our START UP socials to meet like-minded students, spark new ideas, and get inspired by the world of entrepreneurship
START UP Community Socials
Our Community Socials are now finished for the Academic Year 2025/2026, but follow us on Instagram or sign up to our START UP Newsletter to be the first to hear about the latest events.
Thinking about freelancing, starting a business, or launching a social enterprise? Our START UP Community socials are designed for Newcastle students and graduates who are curious about self-employment in all its forms.
Across the series, you’ll hear from guest speakers who’ve been where you are now - sharing stories of how they started, the skills that helped them succeed, the mistakes they learned from and how they’ve used self-employment to create change.
Whether you’re just exploring ideas, building your toolkit or looking for inspiration to take the leap, this series will give you real-world insights, relatable stories, and a supportive space to imagine your own possibilities.
