The Capstone project at Level 6 will require students to consolidate and employ all their knowledge, understanding, critical reasoning as well as interpersonal skills to demonstrate their capability to critically evaluate the launch of a Venture.
There will be a blend of different face-to-face learning activities ranging from entrepreneurial master classes, academic-led lectures and seminars to student-led workshops and peer mentoring processes, accompanied by various autonomous and collaborative learning activities such as inquiry-based learning, research, field visits and team projects.
Integral to the university’s learning model of developing entrepreneurial capability is its enterprise engagement strategy. This will allow students to further develop and demonstrate innovation, creativity and enterprise skills in an experiential manner. This will be achieved through business incubators, Student Union activities and partnerships within the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Negotiating, influencing and presentation skills will be developed via role play during seminars and workshops, while digital skills will be an integral component of students’ assignments for various modules.
