Learn by working in teams
The lecture/seminar sessions for the graduate courses include a large number of class exercises that are carried out in teams.

In addition, because these courses attract students from a range of postgraduate programs from across the University, students learn from others who have a different perspective on the challenges of starting and developing a new venture.
