             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
