BUDIP1501 Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Entrepreneurship and innovation are important areas in today¿s business world. In the past, entrepreneurship has mainly focused on starting small businesses, while innovation has often been about creating new products. This unit introduces students to both areas and helps them understand how they are connected. Students will learn the basic concepts of entrepreneurship and innovation and how these can be applied in practical ways. The unit will focus on developing students¿ creativity and problem-solving skills, and their ability to work with others to bring ideas to life. Students will also explore how to recognize business opportunities, find resources, and begin developing simple business ideas or improvements within existing organizations. The course has been designed to incorporate additional learning hours to support students¿ academic and study skill development.
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).
2026 student contribution amount: $2,175
2026 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $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.
