Teaching, Learning, and Assessment Strategy 

The teaching and learning processes are conducted through lectures, tutorials, practical demonstrations, and activities, completed with students’ independent study. It is the responsibility of the lecturer of a particular course to facilitate all students’ learning in the course, who can be assisted by a mentor, if necessary. By having qualified lecturers and guest lecturers from professional industries, the students will be able to gain knowledge from both sides, i.e. theoretical and practical frameworks, through an in-depth analysis of case studies, and individual/group work projects. For doing their research activities, students can access magazines, books, and academic journals in a good quality library – including accessing the online library to get updated academic papers. All course-work is assessed through a variety of assessment tasks such as reports, presentations, assignments, individual and group projects, and thesis/final project reports as well as mid-semester and final semester examinations.

A series of extracurricular activities are also offered within the campus area. These activities will allow students to develop their social awareness, as well as the competitive and soft skills needed to be prepared for the work environment.

In addition, the innovation habits will be developed through course assessments that emphasize innovation and entrepreneurial skills. Project Hatchery and Entrepreneurship Hatchery are courses that reflect such competence designed by the Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the BINUS BUSINESS SCHOOL International Undergraduate Program. Students are required to translate their selected innovative ideas into a visible design to comprehend the end-to-end innovation process. This innovation thinking approach is implemented in the teaching, learning, and assessment process of several courses throughout the program. Students who are interested to continue this pathway can choose Entrepreneurship as their enrichment track in semester six.
