Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Apply cutting edge innovative and entrepreneurial practices and develop the skills, knowledge, and mindset to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving world.
Who it's for
This new, exciting and inclusive course is open to international students from all backgrounds. Whether you are studying the arts, the social sciences, or the hard sciences, this course will build upon your existing skills and experiences with cutting-edge innovative and entrepreneurial practices.
I've learnt so many incredible things about how to be innovative, how to work in a team, and how to sell an idea that you believe in. It's an incredible experience…and you learn so many new things that will help you not just grow as an entrepreneur, but also as a person.
What you'll learn
You’ll engage in active and immersive learning activities and will collaborate in diverse teams to generate ways to develop and refine innovative business ideas.
You’ll gain a deep understanding of important entrepreneurship concepts, tools and techniques through a combination of theory, hands-on exercises, case studies and practical applications.
You’ll also learn how to analyse problems and opportunities, apply relevant tools and techniques and develop a fully-considered business proposal.
The programme culminates in a pitch competition, where you’ll showcase your ideas and receive feedback from experienced entrepreneurs and business leaders.
