Launch of Enterprising Mind of the Year 2024

Poster - Enterprise education and St Andrews Students Association presents Enterprising mind of the year award, the countdown begins!

The Enterprisng Mind of the Year Award for 2024 was launched at our November 2023 Pecha Kucha Evening by Dr Shruti Narayanswamy. In her remarks she encouraged all those who had created an enterprise within the past semester to enter the competition. 

Enterprise Education in collaboration with the Students' Association and Student Experience offers a prize for the student who has displayed significant enterprise in their studies.  

An enterprising mind is broadly defined as creating value in the form of novel ideas, fresh applications, adventurous methods, or thinking outside the box. This can be evidenced by work directly within a module or indirectly through related cultural, social, economic or practical activities that are closely linked to a module you have studied.  

 We are looking for creative and unique applications of enterprising projects or activities related to any of your modules in the 2023-2024 academic year! The prize for winning the Enterprising Mind of the Year is a £250 cash prize, the year-long status of being the University of St Andrews Enterprising Mind of the Year. The award will also be added to the winner’s Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) transcript.   

Any activity linked to a module running in Semester 1 or Semester 2 of 2023-2024 is eligible.  

Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught students are eligible, as well as Postgraduate Research students who have taken a taught module.

The deadline for applications is 17:30 UK time on Monday 4 March 2024.
