Discovery in action: Macquarie University Bachelor of Arts students
As part of Macquarie University’s reimagined Bachelor of Arts, the SSE Discovery program embeds entrepreneurship skills into the curriculum for both first-year and third-year capstone students, as a fully online virtual experience.
The program is helping Macquarie University's BA students gain valuable employability skills, startup experience and foster pathways towards igniting or growing their own small businesses. It’s all part of helping Macquarie University Arts students transform their passion into a career and acquiring the transferrable and technical skills they need for success in today’s and tomorrow’s workplaces.
Here's what they have to say:

Students personalise the experience by reflecting on problem areas specific to their lives, whether they be topical (e.g. climate change) or related to their specific major (e.g. truth in journalism). The Discovery experience, a key focus for students over four weeks in Semester, is designed to strongly complement the rest of the capstone unit’s focus on industry engagement and employability skills development.
