Description
This subject helps students develop and execute on various aspects of their entrepreneurial idea. Students agree learning contracts with teaching staff based on their mutual assessment of development needs and key risk and opportunities based on their start-up proposal. Students choose from an extended catalogue of online and experiential learning activities and related teaching and learning modules to develop and apply entrepreneurial capabilities and mindsets, and make hands-on experiences to deliver real-world outcomes. The subject also requires the student to produce a comprehensive business plan of about 20,000 words based on an original problem of an applied nature. The business plan is expected to demonstrate the student's competency to conceptualise, conduct and present outcomes and findings based on their own research and experimentation in an independent and applied manner.
