Abstract

It has been widely known that entrepreneurial education plays a critical role in propelling world economies forward, even in difficult times such as the Covid-19 pandemic that we are in. Cultivating entrepreneurial mindset, providing students with the necessary skills and content knowledge to collaboratively develop products and services in a rapidly changing technological and market environment, is therefore paramount. The paper aims to support the development of entrepreneurial competencies in tertiary education, particularly examining the effectiveness in promoting entrepreneurial thinking of the newly introduced modules, Business Essentials through Action 1 & 2 (BETA), which look beyond equipping students the concepts and skills in entrepreneurship, to having students engage in real experiences during which they practice entrepreneurial method.
