Sheffield Business School Experience Days – EdVenture Challenge 2026/27

We’re delighted to invite your Level 3 students to take part in our Sheffield Business School Taster Days on campus at Sheffield Hallam University – an exciting opportunity to explore university-level business education through a fun, fast-paced team challenge.  Our hands on activities not only bring classroom theory to life but build essential skills in teamwork, critical thinking, and entrepreneurial strategy.

In our Hallam EdVenture Challenge, students pitch for a £100K investment in a brand-new business idea. Working in teams, they’ll:

• • Select a new product for a chosen target market 

• • Make critical business decisions and develop marketing strategies 

• • Assess the financial viability of their venture 

• • Respond to business curveballs 

Throughout the taster day, students will build a business plan and prepare a compelling 2-minute pitch to convince our panel of EdVenture Angels to invest in their venture. This immersive experience is designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and give students a taste of the exciting possibilities within business education.

You can choose our Hallam EdVenture Challenge that incorporates Business Management, Accounting and Finance and Marketing, or request a bespoke experience to include a combination of the following subjects or industry sectors:

Accounting, Banking and Finance| Aviation | Business Management | Economics | Events | Financial Trading | Food and Nutrition | Hospitality |International Business | Marketing | Real Estate | Tourism  

No advance preparation is necessary as all resources are provided.
