Abstract
Entrepreneurial education is the process of providing individuals with the ability to recognise
commercial opportunities and the insight, self-esteem, knowledge and skills to act on them. It
includes instruction in opportunity recognition, commercialising a concept, marshalling
resources in the face of risk, and initiating a business venture. It also includes instruction in
traditional business disciplines such as management, marketing, information systems and
finance. The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and introduction of a new program
in Entrepreneurship at the University of Tasmania. Within this program the process and
responsibility of learning has largely been reversed through the process of student centred
learning. This method of learning represents a challenging departure from the traditional
mainstream teaching practices. In considering the benefits achievable from this teaching
method, this paper also considers the difficulties in transferring increased responsibility to
students to manage their futures.
