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.
​
This year-long compulsory non-credit-bearing course consists of a structured series of experiential learning activities that 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 such as hands-on laboratory skill training, deep tech entrepreneurship launcher, industry engagement, and innovation bootcamp.
Part-time students interested in enrolling in the Innovator Immersion Programme are required to remit an additional fee, which represents the difference between the part-time and full-time composition fees, and part-time candidates need to ensure that they will be able to get sufficient time off from their employers to attend the programme.
