Graduate Diploma in
Entrepreneurship and lnnovation
Graduate Diploma in
Entrepreneurship and Innovation
(Singapore program)
This program has been developed for people who intend to
start new, innovative businesses or to play a leading role in
an entrepreneurial unit of an established company.
Business and government initiatives for future technological
development should be enhanced as a result of:
(a) more inventions or service concepts commercialised and
developed in Australia and with export potential;
(b) the training of young technocrats to be proactive in the
search for change; for the seeking out of ideas and the
subsequent development of those which appear promising;
and
(c) the retention of venture capital in Australia.
The main aim is to train graduates from diverse disciplines in
the theoretical and practical aspects of the commercialisation
of an invention beginning with a valid prototype or adequate
conceptual model.
The course should be of interest not only to potential
entrepreneurs but also to 'entrepreneurial professionals' and
'friends of entrepreneurs'. This includes people with an
entrepreneurial outlook who wish to stay within an
organisation and practise entrepreneurship therein. Students
are taught to identify 'what business area they are in' and to
evaluate 'whether the opportunity will result in a profitable
business'. This is achieved through an integrated program of
subjects.
Admission requirements
All applicants should comply with one of the following:
(a) the completion of a degree or diploma in any discipline
with experience in new business creation
(b) a limited number of applicants not meeting the requirements
above may be admitted after interview on the
basis of considerable relevant experience and level of
responsibility in industry or business.
In selecting students for the course, the course convener
takes into consideration the balance of skills required for
