BUMGT1101 Entrepreneurship and innovation

For quite some time, the realms of entrepreneurship and innovation have followed separate paths, each confined to its own narrow scope, which has led to certain drawbacks: entrepreneurship has fixated on the establishment of small businesses, while innovation has been predominantly concerned with the development of new products. With this in mind, this unit endeavours to reintegrate the theory and application of entrepreneurship and innovation. In doing so, it prioritizes enhancing students¿ creative, strategic, and interpersonal skills, enabling them to effectively launch novel innovations within established enterprises and to create and grow entrepreneurial initiatives from scratch. Furthermore, this unit not only fosters a comprehension of the entrepreneurial and innovative landscape, it also underscores the practical dimensions of both, such as identifying opportunities, securing resources, developing ventures, and generating value.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $2,175
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $1,703

^ 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.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
