COOPC2002 Innovation and Start-Up Project 1
Do you have an idea for a new product, service or initiative, and want to explore different ways to make your idea come to life? In this multi-disciplinary unit, students from diverse degrees and discipline areas will embark on a transformative entrepreneurial journey which draws on the power of real-world engagement, collaboration, and an appreciation for entrepreneurial potentiality in the world around us. The innovative potential of students sits at the heart of this unit, as it is the students who bring a novel idea to the table which serves as the springboard for in-depth processes of ideation, prototyping, and user testing to nurture and build their ideas in tangible ways. A unique blend of industry mentors and academic advisors will lead students through a 'Design Sprint' methodology, underpinned by the concepts of Design Thinking, the tools of systems thinkers, and a tailored market testing approach to gather valuable insights from end users. The end point of this project will see students showcase their fully developed innovative start-up initiative that has the potential to be carried forward into the implementation phase.

2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $2,124
Grandfathered contribution amount - 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.
