Master of Science in Technopreneurship

In today’s globalised and fast-paced world, technology is integral in all aspects – from business to personal. Technology, particularly information technology (IT) is undoubtedly central to creating value and for this reason it continues to warrant a rising share of total investments for many companies. This makes technology a lucrative field, particularly for individuals who are entrepreneurs with a core business in technology.

At the forefront of technology and business, the School of IT addresses this need through its MSc in Technopreneurship. The programme is the first to be offered by a private institution of higher learning and it received the industry’s support when it had the honour of being launched in 2013 by Mr Muhammad Imran Kunalan Abdullah, the talent head of Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) – the overseer of MSC Malaysia’s rapid growth.

UCSI’s MSc in Technopreneurship is designed to merge the best of entrepreneurship with the skills needed to harness technology to build internationally-recognised businesses and brands. Through close industry collaborations and feedback, we understand the importance of hands-on learning and applicable knowledge. If you are looking to tap into the booming technology industry, this programme will serves as your launch pad.
