HELP’s ELM Graduate School houses a wide range of programmes at the Master’s and Doctorate levels, from business to psychology, education to analytics, counselling to data science. Behind all these programmes is the fact that they are all important areas that affect our society, shaping it, solving problems with it, and helping its activities to be more effective and productive.

ELM is an acronym for Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Management. It reflects our understanding of the multifaceted role of both individuals and organisations, in that at any one time the trinitarian role of entrepreneurship, leadership and management must interplay in order for them— individuals and organisations— to truly add value to what they do in their chosen fields. We must not think as an entrepreneur, or a leader, or a manager, but all three, all at once.

The ELM Framework underpins our philosophy of the ELM Graduate School executive education and the way we teach and learn in the HELP Group. Apart from the transfer of knowledge and experience that every graduate student will benefit from at our School, and the contribution to knowledge in the research they choose to do, the true value of graduate study at HELP’s ELM Graduate School is the opportunity to interact with our faculty team in order to deepen and broaden your understanding and appreciation of your field of study and work. ELM provides the mindset-based competencies for entrepreneurial foresight and resourcefulness capability, the mindset-based competencies for visionary leadership and global business perspective, and the mindset-based competencies for business intelligence and strategic sustainability. The ELM framework is a paradigm change in that it moves away from the problem-based mindset to the outcome-based mindset and the growth mindset.

Our faculty staff comprises lecturers who are excellent in their chosen field, many of whom with extensive experience on the ground. We are passionate about what true education can do to shape and transform our society and we would love to have you share with us your continuing journey in your chosen field.
