Why should you study this course in Organisational Behaviour and Entrepreneurship?

The programme will introduce the critical areas of entrepreneurship and help students understand the contribution of creativity within work-related contexts. This programme comprises 30 ECTS and is being offered as a Minor Award. It will supplement existing academic and professional learning among graduates who seek to understand and use entrepreneurship theories and creativity practices.



The key aims of the course in Organisational Behaviour and Entrepreneurship are to:



-Provide an introductory postgraduate qualification in entrepreneurship for graduates who work (or seek to work in) professional work-related leadership or management roles where entrepreneurship skills are critical for the organisation's success.

-Support learners in achieving the ability to engage in a comprehensive theoretical discourse and understanding of the key principles of entrepreneurship.

-Critically appraise entrepreneurship theories, models, etc, as applied to work contexts.

-Support graduates in developing and applying theoretical knowledge related to creativity to work-related contexts.

-Provide access routes to appropriate higher education for participants to specialise in based on their current professional needs, individual professional interests, and/or career orientation.

-Graduates are expected to be able to critically evaluate the conceptual and theoretical basis for applying entrepreneurial competencies. The programme, therefore, addresses the needs of graduates who wish to develop their professional competence in these contexts.

-Facilitate students to develop personal and professional capacity and collaborative problem-solving competencies underpinned by evidence-based practice and reflection.
