Course Overview

Our world today is faced with countless challenges: social, economic, and environmental. These are often complex multi-faceted issues that the solutions of yesterday cannot solve. Innovation and having an innovative mindset are the ways forward. Apart from innovation and technological advancement, a sustainable business operation model is also necessary to deal with the social issues in the long term.

In recent years, social entrepreneurship has become a rising business trend. Besides government bodies and NGOs, many large corporations and their spin-offs and start-ups have started to make social impact as this is recognised as a new driver for business growth.

The SEIM programme was founded to grasp these opportunities and nurture the next generation of social entrepreneurs and leaders ready to champion social impact, innovation, and having a purpose-driven career in various fields, including government institutions, NGOs, social enterprises, as well as profit-making companies that have a strong sense of corporate social responsibility and social mission.

The programme aims to:

  • Prepare students to become problem solvers, leaders and pioneers in social innovation with an entrepreneurial mindset
  • Introduce students to the theories and methodologies of innovation management and social entrepreneurship
  • Equip students with pedagogies of innovation and humanitarian technology incubation
  • Provide students with hands-on experiences and real-world exchange and internship practicums to prepare them for  upcoming career opportunities
