Subsite Background

Innovation and Impact Fund (IIF): Entrepreneurship Programme

The University considers its continuous contribution to society by allowing students to create greater knowledge transfer as part of its endeavour to provide quality education. To keep up this effort and provide career development aids, the University encourages and supports students to generate innovative ideas, create opportunities, and master risk and failure while engaging in their formal learning and teaching. To this end, the Entrepreneurship Programme under the University’s Innovation and Impact Fund (IIF) is designed to support students to create a positive impact on society while developing entrepreneurial capacity and spirit.
