Business, Entrepreneurship, and Leadership
Major
Every single one of us carries the potential to be an entrepreneur - to identify opportunities, solve problems creatively, and build something meaningful from the ground up. It's about channeling the right vision with the right knowledge, strategy, and determination.
Whether you dream of launching a tech startup, leading a social enterprise, running a family business, or climbing the corporate ladder to become a CEO, the 'Business, Entrepreneurship and Leadership' major is designed for young minds who aim to build something extraordinary or confidently navigate the complex world of modern business.
This course introduces students to key areas of business, including finance, investment, and company analysis, while teaching strategic planning to turn ideas into viable, scalable business models. Students explore marketing and brand building, digital and traditional advertising, corporate ethics and responsibility, and organisational leadership, developing skills in team dynamics, motivation, communication, and inspiring others toward shared goals.
Business Pitch Competition: Develop your own business concept and present it to a panel of "investors," defending your idea under scrutiny and learning to sell your vision..
Merger and Acquisition Negotiation: Navigate complex M&A simulations where you'll negotiate deals, assess valuations, and experience how multi-million dollar corporate decisions are made.
Market Campaign Challenge: Work in teams to develop a complete marketing campaign - from market research and brand positioning to creative execution and budget allocation.
Tutors bring the business landscape to life through case studies of actual companies. You'll study how founders like Steve Jobs, Sara Blakely, and Elon Musk built their stories and products from initial concepts to global phenomena. Explore how companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Airbnb disrupted entire industries with innovative business models and expansion strategies. We'll analyse current business events, from IPOs and startup unicorns to market disruptions, ensuring every lesson connects to the real business world you'll enter.

Analytical thinking and evidence-based decision-making
Financial literacy and investment understanding

Persuasive communication and negotiation skills
