Since August 2006, the Minor in Technopreneurship Programme has been offered by the NUS Business School, having been transferred from the NUS Entrepreneurship Centre (NEC). As part of NUS' Special Undergraduate Programmes, this Minor is open to all NUS undergraduates, including BBA students. Some Business modules have mathematics requirement as for BBA admissions.
The Minor in Technopreneurship Programme is almost a subset of the (a) Major in Management Programme, (b) Double Degree Programmes comprising the BBA, as well as (c) the Concurrent Master of Science (Management), MSc(Mgt), which can be further augmented by a Master in International Management (MIM) in Europe under scholarship. Students may upgrade from the Technopreneurship Minor Programme to the Management Major and then to either the double degree or MSc(Mgt) programme (subject to meeting the admission criteria of these programmes). Just like the Minor in Technopreneurship, these more comprehensive programmes are available to all eligible non-BBA undergraduates. MSc(Mgt) is also available to BBA undergraduates, as are many Minor programmes offered by other faculties.
The programme aims to encourage and develop the potential of NUS undergraduates in starting up a technology-based business. This curriculum complements the technical knowledge that the students have received, by exposing them to the approaches for exploiting such technical knowledge. This will enhance the graduates' contributions to the economy by equipping them with the knowledge of the processes and mechanisms by which new ideas can be commercialized in the market, whether within an organization or as an independent entrepreneur.
