As the first technopreneur program being offered by a private Institute of Higher Learning (IHL) in Malaysia, UCSI University's Master of Science in Technopreneurship program is designed with the specific aim to develop promising technology-based entrepreneurs and leaders, who are functionally equipped with the skills, competency and perseverance to build internationally recognised businesses and brands.
Entrepreneurial activities have long been recognised as a major contributor to the economy and in recent times, the demand for more locally developed technopreneurs has been constantly and adamantly highlighted by both academicians and industry-players alike. Recognising this, the program was developed by synthesising academic arena and industry best practices with a main goal of promoting sustainable personal and organisational growth through lifelong learning.This is made possible by our specially-designed learning experience that emphasises on pragmatic approach to complement our theoretical classes. By advocating the Praxis model, we are firm in our belief that it enables students to go beyond our classroom and expand their horizon by instilling creativity and innovation in their thinking process. Our Praxis Centre will act as an incubator to guide and nurture aspiring technopreneurs, and provide a medium for them to establish their business and academic connections which is undoubtedly vital especially in the early years of every startup.
