Our innovative curriculum integrates theory and practice

We believe education requires the acquisition and creation of new knowledge and skills, but that alone is simply not enough to create impact in an ever-changing world. We enable students to acquire deep knowledge and develop the mindsets, behaviors, and entrepreneurial capabilities needed to build successful and ethical start-ups and develop new innovations within companies.

Although our curriculum and methodologies evolve and change through experimentation and research, our education is founded on the principles of continuous innovation, collaboration and interdisciplinarity. Our cross-disciplinary approach to entrepreneurship education enables students to not only build better businesses, but become articulate, creative, ethical and confident leaders.

At the Centre, we believe learning is a social activity and focus on teamwork, as it provides students with the opportunity to develop skills such as collaboration and communication, while also being exposed to other cultures and viewpoints, which creates future fit entrepreneurs.

Our approach to a new type of learning lives at the intersection of the Centre’s 3 main areas: Research, education and start-ups. Rigorous research is the baseline, but the knowledge exchange between research, education and start-ups is where our sweet spot lies. Examples of this interchange include how insights from published papers feed into entrepreneurial education development and how teams learn by building through start-ups, which then feeds into research.
