Enterprising events and competitions

The University of Birmingham is collaborating with Engineers in Business Fellowship (EIBF) to provide students with the opportunity to enter the 2021 Engineers in Business Competition.

The Engineers in Business Competition Prize Fund is specifically for undergraduate and graduate engineers. It seeks to increase the participation levels in business courses or business competitions by engineering undergraduates/graduates. EIBF does this because it believes that encouraging more commercial education for undergraduate and graduate engineers is good for engineers and the economy.

This year, the University of Birmingham is hosting an internal competition with a chance to win a share of the £3,000 prize fund. Winners of the internal competition, will be entered into the Champion of Champions Final for a chance to compete for a national prize of a £10,000 prize pot. Applications can be on an individual basis or you can enter as a team.
