Innovation & Entrepreneurship is a key pillar to drive Singapore’s economy. Small and medium enterprises make up more than 99% of all registered businesses and employ 70% of the total workforce in Singapore.
The Innovation & Entrepreneurship (IE) specialisation attracts students that are focused and resilient. Students take specialisation modules and immerse themselves in the entrepreneurial ecosystem early from Year 2. They will develop their entrepreneurial mind-sets, strengthen business acumen and learn practical skills to enable them to start and run their own businesses. One unique advantage of the specialisation is the opportunity to start and run an actual business through the Entrepreneurship Practicum in Year 3.
Students will sharpen their strategic thinking skills and risk-taking capabilities besides learning fundamental knowledge in marketing, e-commerce and business development to grow and sustain businesses for the long-term. Student entrepreneurs also benefit from possible financing, and access to mentorship from industry practitioners and angel investors.
There will be ample opportunities for value-adding exposures such as participating in exhibitions, fairs, hackathons, competitions and overseas immersion trips.
IE graduates with these skill-sets can confidently run their own or family businesses, while others are sought-after by diverse organisations including start-ups, social enterprises and MNCs, that value talents who can turn ideas or projects into successful endeavours!

Marketing & Branding is an important function for all businesses. It helps businesses to create a positive brand image to attract and retain customers. Through the Digital Marketing & Branding (DMB) specialisation modules, students gain hands-on exposure designing creative marketing campaigns for digital and social media platforms to enable companies to differentiate and outperform their competitors in an increasingly crowded marketplace. Students will also learn customers’ buying patterns and their decision making processes to customise product offerings to engage and reach out to them.
