Street2Boardroom Partners with Swansea University

We are very excited to announce that we have officially partnered with Swansea University.

From September 2024, we will deliver Street2Boardroom: Learn the Legal Hustle, a course in partnership with Swansea University, delivered at the campus.

About the course

The Street2Boardroom course is designed to get the best out of people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

It is open to people from all walks of life, including those considered at risk of engaging in street crime. The course uses a well-established and theoretically sound combination of experiential and class-based pedagogy to inspire people to start their own business or work in the corporate or public sector.

The course will run for 5 weeks in Autumn 2024, with 15-20 places available for students to enrol.

At the end of the course, students will receive a higher education certificate of 7.5 European Credit Transfer Scheme points, 15 credits in the UK. This is proof of their ability to learn at University level, which can be used during applying for a bachelor’s degree (Level 4).

Street2Boardroom Founder, Clayton Planter says: “It’s always been a dream of mine to take our Learn the Legal Hustle course to higher education level; University level.

We’re so proud to be working with Swansea University, but what’s more impressive is that they’ve given us space to be authentic in our delivery of the course.”
