Entrepreneurs and investors see the world for what it could be. In an ever-changing landscape, they take the risks to start up new businesses and social ventures.

Successful entrepreneurs are savvy, resilient and well-connected. At the University of Adelaide, we invest in your potential.

Our Bachelor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship gives you knowledge, access to networks and a growth mindset for success. You will:

• hone your ability to identify, assess and develop opportunities
• understand how to finance, market and manage a new venture or opportunity
• learn the business modelling behind innovations' commercialisation
• start your own venture in the University's ThincLab
• get hands-on help from experienced mentors and professionals.

There are also unique opportunities for study in our ThincLab incubators. In these locations you can:

• apply international perspectives and strategies to your ventures
• tap into supported international learning
• access different cultures, networks and opportunities.

You might shine a spotlight on an unexpected renewable energy source. You could explore ecotourism or virtual reality. Perhaps you'll invest in a world-changing approach to everyday healthcare. This degree is also suitable if you want to be a corporate intrapreneur, driving innovative products and services for employers. You could even find alternative career pathways in government and not-for-profit sectors.
