Capstone Project: AI-Powered Entrepreneurial Venture
Students will work on a comprehensive capstone project that combines AI technologies, entrepreneurial concepts, and no-code development tools to create an innovative business solution. This project will be supervised by both AI and entrepreneurship mentors.
This curriculum aims to provide a well-rounded education in the intersection of entrepreneurship and AI, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the evolving landscape of technology-driven innovation.
Post Graduate Diploma in Innovation: Research Project
This is the Research Project which is part of the University's Post Graduate Diploma in Innovation (PGDIP Innovation).
It guides the student in the steps to build their venture providing the necessary tools, templates and content. Furthermore, it is the place where they upload their deliverables for review and grading by the program mentors.
In this way, the students are able to develop their venture independently and in their own time. Furthermore, the professor and/or mentor time is massively optimised as the time spent with the students is in challenge and guidance, rather than requiring time to give simple instructions and explanations.
