Summary of content

This module aims to actively complement the subject/technical capacities developed by individual stakeholder programmes, enabling GSBS students to build personal and professional enterprising capabilities relative to the contexts and cultures associated with the world of business and their own specific areas of study. It will integrate the University's mission and core values imbued through its Common Good Attributes and the Ashoka U initiative as a base for personal and professional development, providing a structured and contextually relevant pathway to enable both a successful and energised start to the graduate journey. As the first module in a series of three (covering Enterprising, Ethical and Entrepreneurial themes), it will encourage an inspirational and reflective stance on awareness of self, with particular emphasis on experiences of work, workplace behaviours, future roles and the expectations of effective operation in their own professional settings.
