The Minor in Entrepreneurship is open to undergraduate students from across all disciplines of study in NTU.  The programme is highly sought-after, and consequently applications often exceed the number of students we can accept.  As a result, we often interview applicants.  Each class size is limited to a maximum of 50 students.

This minor is purposefully and uniquely designed to equip and empower students with basic entrepreneurship skills, business acumen, and stamina to grow businesses.  Students will develop an open mindset and realise that ideas that may appear like impossible dreams can be shaped into small and realisable phases.  The course offers new perspectives, possibilities, and has been described as a ¡®transformational learning experience¡¯ by many past students.

Students will learn to appreciate that entrepreneurship is not just about starting a new business; it is a mindset. It is about taking advantage of opportunities that change brings along.  Working with classmates from different schools, disciplines and stages of study, students are able to benefit from the exchange of ideas and opinions.  We take pride in our interactive teaching seminars and encourage students to present their analyses on case studies and team-based projects through role play, skit and drama.

Lessons are conducted by business leaders, entrepreneurs, intellectual property lawyers and dedicated academics with venture experience.  As part of the course students are exposed to social settings where one can meet and mingle with working professionals, government officers, and successful entrepreneurs. These types of forums include the NTU Entrepreneurship Speaker Series, NTU Entrepreneurship & Innovation High-Tea Networking Session, and the NTU Business Plan Competition.

The first phase of the minor takes the form of a three-day high impact leadership course specially designed for NTC by Outward Bound Singapore (OBS).  Five intensive modules (EN101 ¨C EN105) follow, all of which can be completed in a calendar year.
