University of Bristol spinout PEEQUAL Urinals will appear on BBC One’s Dragons’ Den tonight at 8pm! 📺

Co-founded by Bristol graduates Amber Probyn and Hazel McShane, the award-winning startup began as their final-year project at our University of Bristol Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship before winning the University’s New Enterprise Competition in 2021.

Inspired by long toilet queues faced by women at festivals and outdoor events, the team developed the UK’s first touch-free women’s urinal. Made from 100% recyclable materials, it can be used three times faster than conventional portable lockable toilets and has already featured at major events including Glastonbury and the London Marathon.

We’re incredibly proud to see how Amber and Hazel have transformed their final-year project into an award-winning business and can't wait to watch them pitch to the Dragons.

Will the Dragons be spending more than a penny? Tune in tonight at 8pm to find out! 👀 📺 🐉

A new chapter in our 150-year story! 📖 ➡️ Swipe to take a peek inside our new campus in Mumbai 👀

Yesterday, we were thrilled to open our first international campus in Mumbai and welcome our inaugural cohort of students. The University of Bristol Mumbai Enterprise Campus marks a major milestone in our history and our commitment to India’s talent, innovation and knowledge ecosystem.

We were delighted to be joined by the recipients of the University of Bristol-Government of Maharashtra Scholarship, a landmark scheme launched earlier this year to support promising students from the state.

Also joining us was Bristol alumna Shanta Gokhale, an esteemed writer, translator, journalist and theatre critic. In awarding her an honorary degree, she became the first graduate of the Mumbai Enterprise Campus some 64 years after she first graduated in Bristol 🎓

We marked the opening with a traditional lamp lighting ceremony, inviting knowledge, wisdom and positivity into the occasion.
