This course is open to eligible undergraduate students only.
Exclusive Access
MGMT388 is not just about the day-to-day work. As part of the programme, all students will be invited to two closed-door sessions:
An intimate gathering curated by IIE, bringing together senior leaders and key figures from Singapore's innovation landscape. Hear directly from the people shaping the ecosystem — and connect with them after in a small, informal networking setting.
Connect with founders, investors and ecosystem builders together with adjunct lecturer Yau Soon Loo’s professional network. A rare opportunity to engage with experienced entrepreneurs in a setting most students will never have access to.
At the close of the programme, students from both tracks will present their projects and ventures at IIE's Demo Day. Venture capitalists will be in the room. Whether you are pitching a venture or showcasing your work, this is your moment to make an impression.
One Programme, Two Tracks
