Teaching

Our courses are carefully selected to shape and foster an entrepreneurial mindset in our participants. 

Many of our students arrive with an aspiration to create their own venture but few know how to do so. We take them through the entire cycle of business creation, from developing, testing and planning ideas through to financing, executing and scaling resulting ventures. The courses are highly experiential – students are challenged to apply what they learn to real - often their own - ventures. The course offerings are regularly updated to reflect the changing demands of students and aspiring entrepreneurs. Students create businesses across every sector. Some are unashamedly driven by profit motives, others as vehicles for sense of social good. Irrespective, our teaching inspires students to have a go, equipping them to have a vast and wide-ranging impact on the world around them.

Explore our range of unique learning experiences led by our world-class faculty, to accelerate your entrepreneurial journey today.
