Innovation and Entrepreneurship Specialisation

Overview

Entrepreneurs can be found in a diverse range of industries. What they have in common is ambition, an ability to think outside the box and the love of a personal challenge.

If you want to pave your own way and solve problems with new ideas, services and products, you could be an entrepreneur in the making.

This specialisation is designed for enterprising people who want to become entrepreneurs as founders of fast-growing businesses or work as internal corporate entrepreneurs for innovative organisations. It will complement most undergraduate degrees at Curtin.

You’ll gain skills in problem solving, planning, organising and managing innovation and develop your skills, knowledge and expertise in starting, running and growing an entrepreneurial venture.

This specialisation provides breadth in innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity, design thinking and prototyping for innovative individuals or those wishing to work as internal corporate entrepreneurs.

Frequently asked questions

Are there any courses or activities that may be offensive to me, conflict with my culture?

It is highly recommended that you read the course and unit information so you are fully aware of the essential requirements of study and can identify if any activities or content would conflict with your culture or beliefs.

Some examples include the following:

• Human Biology and Anatomy students must view cadaver material to gain a three-dimensional perspective from carefully protected specimens.
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students should be aware that Curtin's website and links may contain pictures, film and names of people who have passed away.
• Fashion students may be required to organise fashion parades, including the coordination of live models backstage and can inadvertently be exposed to nudity as models prepare to change into designed garments.
• Students in Physiotherapy or Exercise and Sport Science must participate fully in all laboratories and clinical activities to develop the professional skills essential to be a competent practitioner. This requires that all students be suitably disrobed, for example in appropriate swimwear or undergarments, in a mixed class group to practise physiotherapy techniques on students of both genders throughout many of the laboratory sessions for the duration of the course.
• Curtin’s Sexology students are exposed to media material of a sexually graphic nature in order to teach the course and unit modules.

If you would like to find out more about the content of your chosen course, you can submit your questions via our webform. Your enquiry will be answered by one of our Curtin Connect Officers.
