For the Enterprise Fellowships, international students from all across the world can study PhD programs at the Royal Academy of Engineering UK. This program aids inventive and adventurous engineers who have envisioned a revolutionary engineering concept that they wish to investigate further.

The program puts a lot of attention on making sure the prize winner has the information, connections, and self-assurance needed to develop their idea. Three different groups of people can receive assistance from Enterprise Fellowships: recent graduates who want to start a business, academics who want to spin off a company from a university or research facility, and international PhD students who are studying in the UK and want to start or spin off a company.
