Master of Entrepreneurship

This programme supports the growth of dynamic entrepreneurship and ignite the entrepreneurial spirit in individuals to actualise their aspirations.

Overview

Drawing on HELP’s own start-up and successful emergence as both a business and social enterprise, and expressing its core value of sharing success, the HELP Master of Entrepreneurship (MER) was initiated to support the growth of dynamic entrepreneurship and ignite the entrepreneurial spirit in individuals to actualise their aspirations.

The programme emphasises theoretical rigour to help students develop a conceptual awareness of the nature of enterprise. It facilitates the understanding of a wide range of managerial, marketing and financial skills within the entrepreneurial context using experiential and action learning. This pragmatic and holistic pedagogy supports the development of mind-set based competencies for entrepreneurial foresight and actions. The programme material is gleaned from lessons and cases of successful entrepreneurship and the experience of iconic entrepreneurs. It is also based on the experience of HELP as an entrepreneurial institution in the field of education. Students will have opportunities to interact with leaders from SMEs to understand real world challenges and exercise entrepreneurial skills acquired from the programme.

Why study Master of Entrepreneurship at HELP's ELM Graduate School?

ELM is the acronym for Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Management. It reflects the School's understanding of the multifaceted role of both individuals and organisations that at any one time the trinitarian role of entrepreneurship, leadership and management interplays to create, manage and sustain a business over different phases of its life.

The ELM Framework underlies our philosophy of the ELM Graduate School executive education and the way we teach and learn business in the HELP Group. It synthesises relevant theoretical constructs and integrates them into a practical system of decision-making for ELM. It is a useful tool for facilitating thinking out the right business model and strategy execution.

The ELM approach is used in our teaching and learning in the ELM Graduate School. This is the multi-perspective lens that we use to identify, respond and adapt to education, enterprise and execution.

This unique framework shapes our postgraduate programmes and brings depth and practical value to the knowledge and experience that all our students will no doubt gain.
