The programme.

The B.Sc. Entrepreneurship combines entrepreneurial theory with hands-on venture development. Students do not write business plans for imaginary companies. They build, price, sell and frequently abandon real ones.

The degree is structured around a venture that develops with the student: validated in the second year, built in the third, and taken to market or wound up in the fourth, with the reasoning documented either way.

Teaching draws on the Clayton Christensen Institute's market-creating innovation work and on founders and investors working in Lagos now, so the frameworks are stress-tested against the market students are actually entering.
