NCL2100: Exploring Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Employability
Develop skills and enhance your employability while earning academic credit.
In a fast changing and highly competitive world, organisations need creative, enterprising and entrepreneurial people. Our new module, NCL2100, aims to help you develop these key attributes.
Currently available to Stage 2 students only, NCL2100 is a 20 credit module completed across the academic year.
How does it work?
NCL2100 gives you the chance to use and share your knowledge of your degree subject to identify solutions to key challenges in society.
Working in teams, you will explore real life problems and issues drawn from the University’s societal challenge themes and develop commercial solutions with the potential to grow into anything from a mainstream business to a social enterprise.
The module aims to show that being enterprising and entrepreneurial is about making a difference, creating change and making things happen across society.
You will take part in various activities, including:
- creativity labs;
- lectures;
- practical workshops;
- drop in surgeries;
- fieldwork;
- a university-wide showcase event.
How is NCL2100 assessed?
Assessment is through:
- a market research report, compiled by each team, to demonstrate the viability and potential of your idea;
- an essay reflecting on what you have learned from the module;
- a group presentation of your idea in the form of a trade stand;
- an individual poster presentation at the final showcase event.
