About Us

The Enterprise Gym™ is part of the University of Dundee's Graduate School of Natural Resources Law, Policy and Management. It aims to help all interested students to develop business enterprise and entrepreneurial skills.This is done with the support of the local business community, both through financial sponsorship of events and prizes and through direct involvement in delivering the many programmed activities. The E-Gym shows students that in becoming more "business ready" they also become more entrepreneurial and that with the world’s economy ever changing, the option of self employment is the ultimate in self-reliance. Student members get access to online training materials, informal training sessions led by members of the local business community (trainers), more formal talks from visiting masterclass speakers (supercoaches) and a variety of competitions, ranging from individual online short essay competitions with a £20 prize to a team business plan competition (Discovery Challenge) with a total of £3500 in prize money throughout the University year. Team winners also benefit from practical pre-incubator support to develop their business plans further. These prizes, along with certificates of attendance and participation in the EGym over the year, are awarded at an annual awards ceremony in March/April, to which members - both students and local business partners - are invited.
