Enterprise and Creativity aims to give Second Level students across the university, the opportunity to learn how to develop a project by doing it. Enhancing their own creativity and enterprise skills, students will be working in teams to design and deliver an enterprising project. The success of the module relies on students taking a proactive role in managing their learning. The module will incorporate lectures, delivered by staff from different Schools, and tutorials where students will be expected to generate their own results, using the materials provided.
