International Week Modules on Sustainable Development provide an overview of the factors that influence economic growth in the South African economy within an uncertain and volatile global environment.
The course presents a multi-disciplinary approach for visiting learners and raises awareness of the impact of climate change, resource scarcity, pollution and rising social inequality on development and implementation of sustainable business models. Groups receive first-hand industry exposure and practical insights on how companies are creating a positive social impact in order to achieve sustainable socio economic development. Groups can engage with industry partners that are invited to present their sustainability strategies, and demonstrate how they act responsibly by promoting the principles of good corporate citizenship.

The International Affairs Office offers a customized module focused on Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
The module builds on a combination of academic and industry expertise and exposes students to strategic projects that focus on building sustainable enterprises and achieving wide reaching social impact. Engagement with local entrepreneurs and incubation hubs highlights the challenges of doing business in informal markets and identifies innovation as a key driver for creating an enabling environment that fosters small business and enterprise development.
The module highlights the challenges for small and medium enterprise to navigate the complex context of the African commercial environment, and illustrates how they are achieving growth and expansion within the region. Visiting groups are able to learn by doing, and participate in designed consultancy projects, therefore getting a hands-on experience with identified partner companies.
