This course will take place off-campus at different CoWorking Spaces around the city. In each session you will be meeting professional and active entrepreneurs, exposing you to different sectors, companies, businesspeople and work environments. The module offers a practical learning experience focused on tangible outcomes, which will guide you with your own entrepreneurial journey. The content will focus on the funding, networking and pitching stages of launching a startup.
● Demonstrate understanding of the funding, networking and pitching processes undertaken when launching a startup.
● Evaluate and critically compare different approaches to how to launch a startup.
● Apply what has been learnt from the coworking space sessions and deliver a proposal that clearly and substantially outlines how you plan to fund, network and pitch your startup idea.

ESEI uses the project-based learning and assessment methodology across all modules taught in our master programs. This means that you will work together in groups to develop projects that require creativity, team work, and problem-solving skills.
The main benefit of Project-Based Learning is that by the time you graduate, you will essentially have a portfolio of work to show which will be directly applicable to what you’ll be doing as a future employee or business owner.
It’s up to the teacher to decide on the format of the project – it can be a case study, a written report, a video, a role-playing activity, a podcast, or any other kind of media that gets your point across. The teachers create the project briefs and oversee the progress that teams are making week after week with regular check-in points.
