Entrepreneurship Program

The Entrepreneurship Programme is a rigorous six-month professional programme designed to guide participants from opportunity identification to the launch or validation of a real business venture. It is structured for aspiring entrepreneurs, early-stage founders, SME operators, and professionals transitioning into entrepreneurship. The programme treats entrepreneurship as a disciplined practice rather than an abstract idea, grounding learning in real market conditions and execution.

Participants engage in a blended learning experience that combines classroom instruction, venture laboratories, mentorship, and fieldwork. Throughout the programme, learners work on a live venture that evolves through structured milestones, culminating in a comprehensive capstone project that demonstrates entrepreneurial competence and market readiness.

Learning Experience and Pedagogical Approach

The programme integrates peer review, venture clinics, and one-on-one mentorship to simulate the realities of entrepreneurial decision-making. Participants are continuously challenged to adapt their ideas based on market feedback, operational constraints, and financial realities, reinforcing disciplined entrepreneurial thinking.

By the end of the programme, participants are expected to have launched or substantially validated a business venture supported by documented market evidence. Graduates develop strong capabilities in opportunity evaluation, business model design, financial planning, operations, sales, and growth strategy.

Completing the programme signals readiness to engage investors, partners, and customers with confidence. Graduates leave with a defensible capstone project, a clear execution roadmap, and access to continued incubation and enterprise support networks.

This program is highly flexible, and will be held as often as twice a week for 6 months. The learning experience is highly experiential. Participants conduct real customer interviews, test business assumptions, build financial models, and execute market entry strategies under faculty and mentor supervision. Teaching emphasises structured experimentation, reflection, and evidence-based decision-making, ensuring that learning outcomes are directly tied to practical execution.
