Message from the Academic Director

SMU's enhanced offering of the Master of Science in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (MEI) programme by coursework is the first Specialised Masters programme in Singapore to integrate both entrepreneurship and innovation. The importance of entrepreneurship to the economy in driving growth and development, promoting innovation, job creation and social change, cannot be underestimated. This enhanced programme delivers a relevant curriculum and innovative pedagogy critical to address the need for innovation and entrepreneurial talent in Singapore and beyond. 

The MEI offers a cross-disciplined, practical entrepreneurship and innovation education delivered through world-class faculty, regular engagement with thought-leading practitioners, and a hands-on "venture building experience". 
Candidates can complete the programme on a full-time basis over 12 months, through coursework and a concurrent Venture Building Experience, where they can either choose to pursue a business idea from "0 to 1" or "1 to infinity", working with mentors and/or industry partners such as Temasek Life Accelerator.
They will have the opportunity to understand the global economy, through overseas exchanges with partner institutions and overseas immersion programmes. 

The MEI programme is designed to ensure that candidates acquire entrepreneurial abilities and experience, crucial to successfully tackling today's and tomorrow's innovation challenges across industries and functions. It is designed to engage, challenge and grow Asia's next generation of business and entrepreneurial leaders.
