Module description

This is the core capstone module for single and joint honours students of Management, inviting students to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset. The module aims to provide a pivot between University and post-University life where students will: reflect on their learning experiences throughout their undergraduate university career; look forward to current and future global challenges to hone skills in organisational analysis and generate creative, contextualised solutions.
