To me, innovation means finding your passion, and using that passion to make a positive impact and change to the world. I'm studying the new Bachelor of Letters (Innovation and Enterprise) alongside my Bachelor of Information Technology. I was attracted to this course for two reasons I wanted a double-like degree, and I wanted to learn more about entrepeneurship, new ventures and start-ups, to help prepare me for the changing world of work.
