Henley Centre for Entrepreneurship and ASPECT Network Project on Entrepreneurship Visa

This project involves supporting high impact and inclusive international graduate entrepreneurs with the graduate start-up visa scheme (INT-ENT).

The project launched in 2023 and was funded by the Aspect Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities Network. It investigated how UK universities support International Student and Graduate Entrepreneurs (ISGEs) under the recent and current visa policy schemes. Drawing upon primary and secondary data collected from 16 participating Higher Education Institutions and 12 International Graduate Entrepreneurs (IGEs), the project provides a comprehensive summary of visa schemes and university support practices, develops a tracking tool for universities to monitor IGE progress and provides recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of support to ISGEs.

The project has concluded, and the research results can be accessed via the project report. To access the report, please complete the form here.
