The Postgraduate Diploma in Management in Entrepreneurship (PDE) delivers an innovative curriculum seeking to equip graduates with the skills requisite of a changing and challenging business environment.
With an explicit focus on entrepreneurship, the PDE employs an action-learning based curriculum, the core thrust of which is to challenge the orthodox view that entrepreneurship is mostly about spreadsheets, business plans and projections of discounted cash flows.
Instead, the PDE encourages students to see themselves as change-agents, artists, creators, and visionaries in a year-long learning process whereby student groups start up and run their own businesses.
The interlocking and integrative nature of the programme creates an additional level of learning whereby students can hold up theoretical constructs and test their applicability in real-time with real people and real money.
First Semester
Organisation and Management
Effective People Practices
Entrepreneurial Strategies
Creativity in Business
Second Semester
Management Theory in Practice
Plus two electives from the list of courses made available to students at registration, or as approved by the postgraduate convener
