The module combines study of entrepreneurial theory with practical learning and problem-solving. You will be guided to explore difference aspects of entrepreneurship within a local and global context and will also try your hand at developing a business start-up and creating your own business.   
By the end of the module, you will be equipped with the necessary tools, techniques, and knowledge for you to demonstrate your comprehension of entrepreneurship in business, and to identify and propose solutions to business and social problems.
