Frequently Asked Questions

Enterprise is a broad, future-focused discipline that aims to expand your knowledge outside your current discipline. It has been created in response to current changing professional, digital, economic, environmental, and social circumstances we are facing now and in the future.
To future proof the Master of Enterprise we have identified global trends and key gaps in the market that will influence the way leaders and entrepreneurs work. These key areas include innovation, sustainability and the digital world.
These areas will continue to shape our future workforces, so it’s essential for leaders to be able to understand and adapt to them. You won’t just learn the skills necessary to workplaces today, but for long into the future.
The Master of Enterprise is best suited for existing leaders in their industry and those who want to upskill and/or broaden their existing skills in sustainability, ethics and digital forefront. This course is especially useful for leaders looking to future proof their skills.
