Engage with Our Students

1. Co-create Solutions through Capstone Projects

Through capstone projects, our students incorporate their learning from the programme to address real-world business problems. Under close supervision of our faculty, selected student teams work alongside industry professionals to conduct market research, formulate strategies, and develop business plans, bringing fresh and forward-thinking solutions to the company’s unique business issues and challenges.

Capstone Projects offer a number of benefits to project sponsoring companies:

  • A cost-effective way to address specific business issues through our student teams with support by faculty supervisors.
  • A chance to gain fresh perspectives and new ideas from our student teams.
  • Opportunity to recruit bright graduates from a diverse pool of students.
  • Brand promotion among students, other project sponsors, and the wider community.
  • A valuable opportunity to connect with our faculty members who are subject matter experts in their respective areas.

Glowing Reviews from Our Past Project Sponsors

“I was impressed by the students’ active listening and ability to take constructive feedback throughout the engagement. With a handful of touchpoints, I was pleasantly surprised that most of my comments and directions were incorporated into the analysis which drove the final recommendations. With the right guidance from future managers and appropriate opportunities to learn and grow, I can see a promising future ahead for this group of students.”
