The Entrepreneurship Journey is an optional module that can be taken instead of one elective. It is a live entrepreneurial experience that provides insights into the challenges of introducing products and services to market.

The module requires you to approach a real problem or opportunity, analyse it, conduct necessary research, coordinate with two other students and deliver a real proposal.

You will lead a project (typically from your employer) and collaborate on two other projects led by two other students. This will give you an exposure to different contexts, greatly enriching your experience in a unique way.
