Programme Structure
- Students can choose to study the course fully online or through our multi-mode delivery format.
- The multi-mode delivery method enables students to learn safely via a mixture of on-campus and remote online teaching. This new way of teaching takes into account the government COVID-19 regulations around social distancing and reduced capacity in lecture theatres, and most importantly, prioritises the safety of our students, faculty and staff.
- The course is delivered through a mix of lectures, classes, facilitated group discussions, and personalised mentorship from experts and entrepreneurs who know how to build scale enterprises. Students will have the opportunity to employ a novel AI-driven coaching platform that provides personalised quantitative feedback on team interactions and collaboration.
