Deadline for applications: 8th June 2012
Please note this scheme is for students who are graduating from Birmingham School of Media in 2012.
Have you got an idea for a media enterprise? Would you like support in developing your ideas?
The School of Media incubation scheme can help you to develop your ideas, and can help you to access other support within BCU.
Successful applicants will receive a package of support and development that will include:
- up to 12 months business accommodation (at Perry Barr)

Placement is subject to a competitive and transparent process. Individuals and groups are invited to apply via an application form.
