Profitunity!

How to get involved

Profitunity! is running at the following 16 universities:
Bath, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Durham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Imperial, Leeds, Loughborough, LSE, Manchester, Nottingham, Oxford, UCL and Warwick.

We’ll visit these universities in October and November to tell you more about Profitunity! and answer your questions. Look out for our people on campus soon!

It is hard work and your team will need to be dedicated, but you will get an impressive skill-set and invaluable entrepreneurial experience through the competition. You will also have the chance to work closely with, and learn from, mentors from Ernst & Young and The Prince’s Trust.

Applications open on 5 October 2009 for teams of between four and six people. We look for bright motivated people, who want to showcase their business skills and who really care about making a difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people. We accept applications from all year groups and degree disciplines.

The deadline for applications is 5pm on Friday 6 November 2009, after which we’ll select the teams to compete.

If you have any questions please contact 0800 289 208 or email gradrec@uk.ey.com.
