Welcome to the Centre for Entrepreneurship (CFE) - where students have an immediate exposure to highly acclaimed entrepreneurs and organisations, directly involved in business in Australia.
Work Integrated Learning
The Centre For Entrepreneurship is an integral part of the delivery of work integrated learning (WIL) at UBSS. WIL brings the real world to the classroom. By having Fellows present to students their entrepreneurial experience or subject matter expertise, this greatly enriches the student learning experience.
Our ‘work integrated learning’ is enhanced with interviews from industry experts, case studies, real world business projects, writing business plans and business simulation - all designed to prepare UBSS students for their future careers or entrepreneurial endeavours.
Under the guidance of TEQSA, the Higher Education Standards Framework (HESF) 2021 (Standard 1.4.2c) requires courses of study to contain “knowledge and skills required for employment and further study related to the course of study ” and “skills in independent and critical thinking suitable for life-long learning” (Standard 1.4.2d). This is achieved through the various WIL measures embedded in all UBSS courses and subjects, with the assistance of the CFE.
World-class opportunities
The CFE develops the following vital business skills for UBSS students:
- Create an entrepreneurial mindset - learning from and be exposed to highly successful entrepreneurs from different industry verticals
- Develop ‘business acumen’, to make the right business decisions at the right time
- Acquire knowledge of ever changing business climates, nationally and globally
- Enhance professional development communication, negotiating and persuasion skills together with ‘real time’ executives.
UBSS prides itself in offering students a holistic learning environment, combining qualifications and a distinct advantage into their business area of choice, whilst attaining their MBA and promises a ‘hands on’ environment. Cutting edge learning and innovation is a highly sought after attribute for students in today's higher education environment. This is achieved at UBSS by providing opportunities for students to hear from experts in their business field and from the opportunity to work on real life business problems in Australian businesses.
