Innovator Immersion Programme
Full-time students will automatically enrol in a compulsory non-credit-bearing Innovator Immersion Programme, which harnesses the non-teaching hours during weekdays to provide enhanced experiential learning activities.
​
The non-credit bearing Innovator Immersion Programme provides full-time students a valuable opportunity to make the most of their daytime hours without lectures by engaging in enriching experiential learning activities. Part-time students interested in enrolling in the immersion program are required to remit an additional fee, which represents the difference between the part-time and full-time tuition fees.
This year-long non-credit-bearing course consists of a structured series of experiential learning activities support a student’s career development as a biomedical innovator and entrepreneur. These activities complement other courses in this Master of Biomedical Innovation programme. The immersion programme consists of several structured experimental learning components that include hands-on laboratory skill training, deep tech entrepreneurship launcher, industry engagement, and innovation bootcamp.
