 PREREQUISITES OF THE SYLLABUS

Entrepreneurship is directed to students pursuing any field of study regardless of their career
aspirations. However, a minimum knowledge of the areas of business would be helpful. Successful
participation in the course of study will also depend on good verbal and written communication skills.

 STRUCTURE OF THE SYLLABUS

The syllabus is divided into two (2) Units. Each Unit comprises three Modules, each requiring 50 hours.
The total time for each Unit is therefore expected to be 150 hours. Each Unit can independently offer
students a comprehensive programme of study with appropriate balance between depth and
coverage and provide a basis for further study in this field.

Unit 1: Entrepreneurship Theory

Module 1 - The Entrepreneurial Mindset
Module 2 - The Entrepreneurial Process
Module 3 - Creativity and Innovation
