The time spent studying working or volunteering abroad during a degree programme is an excellent opportunity to identify and start up a new business. However too few students are aware of entrepreneurship before or during their international placement.
This report shows that students who speak foreign languages travel and understand other cultures have a unique entrepreneurial opportunity. It encourages students to look at placements abroad in a more critical and innovative way to be aware of business opportunities and to make use of the start-up support networks and services available when starting a business.
