What can you win?

The winning college not only wins the title and trophy for being the most enterprising college but gets the chance to represent Lancaster University at an international inter-university pitching competition (FLUX500). The competition is now in its 7^th year and has seen over 30,000 students take part from over 100 universities. The national champions also win £500 cash each!

What should I expect?

An action packed event to help you increase your knowledge and understanding of enterprise and help you develop those job winning enterprise skills! The event kicks off with a free buffet lunch at 1pm in Barker House Farm and will wrap up at around 4.30pm. Last year many students came dressed to impress!

OK I’m interested, what next?

What do the student’s say about it?

“Flux was challenging, stressful and tiring; however it was the most amazing and fun experience that I would DEFINATELY do again!”
