The University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) announced its Postgraduate Diploma in Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

Professor Christo Doherty, the course coordinator says: “We particularly encourage candidates who are contemplating pursuing a Master’s or PhD in any of these fields, so they can embark on advanced degrees armed with the knowledge of how to commercialize their research.

Graduates of this programme will have a wealth of career opportunities. Equipped with the aptitude and mindset for innovation and creation, they represent the future generation of entrepreneurs and job creators. They will not merely seek jobs; they will create them.”The programme was developed and is led by the Wits Innovation Centre, and will bridge the gap between academic research and real-world innovation.

“South African universities must now give attention to both discovery research and innovation. This is a novel diploma that will combine collaborative teaching and learning to fast-track researchers into careers as innovators and entrepreneurs”.The PGDip in Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a multi-faculty initiative characterized by a hands-on approach, with a year-long research project at its core.
