Learning

Outline

The landscape of business is changing fast. Thanks to the digital age, more and more people are setting up their own companies. Learn what it takes to get ahead in a one-week intensive course at National University of Singapore.

You could learn about how to set up your own business ideas for success or determine what it takes to design a successful venture. You will discuss the basics of a business model, and may even have a chance to pitch your idea, all while guided by expert tutors from Oxford.

Teaching methodology

Learning in a small group (no more than 15 students and often fewer), as well as 1:1 or 2:1 tutorials, means that you get quality time with your tutor and the chance to ask all your most pressing questions. Through interactive learning, our tutors will guide you through new concepts and assign you practise tasks to build your knowledge and skills. You will also have an opportunity for group work, independent research, and homework assignments to be discussed in class. Small classes mean everyone gets to have their say, and students learn from debating with one another, as well as from their tutor. You’ll take part in academic workshops that will build your transferable skills are help you prepare for your academic career.
