Our dynamic assortment of university-style lessons, including seminars for practical discussion and traditional lectures for the classic university experience, will enable you to learn better and faster.
In a hands-on Design Sprint assignment each week, put theory into reality and employ business tools. You’ll work with your classmates to come up with business ideas, strategize, and prototype them, culminating in a pitch to our college students and faculty. Launching a new product, revitalising a failing business, or developing a Corporate Social Responsibility policy are all examples of Design Sprints you might expect during this course.
From the inside of a working corporation, observe business theory in action. Understand the secrets of their success and the way the firm is run in terms of management, finance, and marketing from individuals who actually do the work on a day-to-day basis, whilst you tour the business premises and facilities.
Practical skills coaching is included in our courses, with a focus on public speaking, collaboration, and creative thinking, so you can contribute effectively in your studies and future profession. Our university application counselling sessions will help you through the rigorous process of gaining a spot at your dream university.
