The University of York has a long history of encouraging students and staff to be enterprising in both thought and actions.
From 2001 to 2006 York, along with Sheffield and Leeds formed the White Rose Centre for Enterprise, which existed solely to embed enterprise learning material into existing modules across the science and technology subjects at York, and encourage student participation in entrepreneurial activity. The WRCE was a great success, helping students across many degrees learn the skills and mindset of an entrepreneur, along with the knowledge specifically related to their degree.

Not content to slip backwards though York, Leeds and Sheffield put in a new bid for funding to the government to establish a Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning Enterprise (CETLE).
