BUENT3710 Social Entrepreneurship
This course enables students to develop the skills, knowledge and attitudes to implement entrepreneurial approaches to establish mission-driven ventures and use the techniques that start-up companies and other entrepreneurs use to develop, fund and implement solutions to social, cultural or environmental issues. This concept may be applied to a variety of organisations with different sizes, aims and beliefs. The course will examine the emergence of social entrepreneurs developing practical solutions to sustainability challenges and explore the intersection of the non-profit, government and business sectors in delivering social and environmental value. Students will examine the opportunities for entrepreneurial approaches to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and work collaboratively to develop a business plan for the establishment of a social enterprise that delivers social and/or environmental value.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,663
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
