Business Practicum
Capstone studies are designed to provide an opportunity for high achieving students to explore in-depth an area of interest related to their studies.
Business Practicum (formerly Management Practicum) is taken as a third year subject which requires participants to draw upon multi-disciplinary knowledge skills and theory acquired from their previous studies. Students work in teams, with an academic supervisor as consultants for participating organisations.
Each team undertakes a structured business planning or business development exercise, supported by class work providing tools, techniques and reporting formats. Students learn to work with unstructured and incomplete information, to develop research and networks to support their inquiry, to work successfully in teams, and to present their findings and seek and receive constructive feedback in a range of settings.
Students will also be encouraged to plan, reflect on and modify their approaches to improve the outcomes of their efforts in managing their business project.
