An interdisciplinary programme combining chemistry knowledge with the skills needed for enterprise and innovation.

With the goal to prepare NTU graduates to impact the world and its grand challenges, the new Second Major in Entrepreneurship (SMiE) is introduced, in partnership with the NTU Entrepreneurship Academy and Nanyang Business School, to:

Equip students with fundamental entrepreneurship competency and broaden their understanding in enterprise and innovation.
Inculcate an entrepreneurial mindset to deal with uncertainties in a VUCA* world and be the drivers of technology innovation.
Seize the opportunities from new technologies with special emphasis on technopreneurship.
Expand their network and be part of the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Provide them with hands-on experience in technopreneurship through experiential learning and a 20-week local/overseas internship with startups, venture capital firms, or other entrepreneurship-related organisations.

* Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity.

Unique Feature

A unique feature of the SMiE curricula is the emphasis on experiential exposure and learning where students will be placed in an interactive learning environment in the form of team-based projects, real-life simulations, role-playing and practical experiences. Lessons will be conducted by business leaders, entrepreneurs, intellectual property lawyers in addition to dedicated academics. Students will be guided to identify when and how to seize opportunities that come with change. There will be many networking and social settings for students to meet professionals and successful entrepreneurs. Students are expected to be immersed extensively in the entrepreneurship eco-system and to interact with the entrepreneurs, business incubators, venture financiers as well as reach out to potential clients.
