Enterprise<\/h2>\n

What is Enterprise?<\/b><\/h3>\n

We recognise the importance of supporting student enterprise and entrepreneurship education. As an entrepreneurial university it is important that our students are supported to develop the skills and graduate attributes which are essential in today\u2019s global labour market so that they can make a positive contribution to society. Graduates who are able to demonstrate this are highly sought after by employers across a whole range of industry sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enterprise is not just confined to starting up and running a business venture, it provides opportunities that guide students\u00a0towards an understanding and contextualisation of\u00a0a whole range of enterprise skills, attributes and capabilities as it relates to their course discipline and \/ or co curricular and extracurricular activities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enterprise education integration into the curriculum facilitates a student\u2019s capacity to generate and demonstrate how ideas are developed into innovative products and services which deliver cultural, economic, environmental, intellectual, and social value. It provides a gateway for students to explore their own understanding of its relevance for themselves through professional skills development and mindset development around personal values, motivation, risk-tolerance, and opportunity assessment. It also provides them with the opportunity to gain alternative perspectives on their career options.(Jarman 2017). Enterprise and entrepreneurship integration across the curriculum is <\/span>\u201cthe process of equipping students (or graduates) with an enhanced capacity to generate ideas and the skills to make them happen\u201d <\/span><\/i>(QAA 2012).<\/span><\/p>\n

Employers expect graduates to be innovative, adaptable, resilient, and flexible and have an enterprising mind-set. Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Education<\/span> aims to produce graduates with the awareness, mindset and capability to generate original ideas in response to identified needs, opportunities and\/or challenges, and then take steps to making it happen. For many graduates they will use these skills intrapreneurially i.e. contributing to the development or growth of an existing venture. For the minority, it will lead to them developing their own business ventures.(QAA 2018).<\/span><\/p>\n
