Key Summary
Bachelor of Entrepreneurship (BEntr)
The Bachelor of Entrepreneurship (BEntr) is a uniquely self-directed degree that equips you to change the world as you create new products, services and ideas. The BEntr gives you a large degree of freedom in choosing what to study so that your passions, and the problems you want to solve, guide which papers you enrol in. The possibilities are unlimited.
Entrepreneurship is about more than founding startups. Existing businesses need entrepreneurial thinkers too. So do non-profit social and environmental enterprises, and iwi and Pacific communities. Building on Otepoti Dunedin's unique entrepreneurial ecosystem, the BEntr is designed to enable careers that involve developing novel solutions to important challenges facing the world. The Program reflects the Otago Business School's commitment to accelerating ventures that are for the good of people and the planet.
