Student Story

MS TME
Ambreen Ashfaq

The MS TME programme has not only helped me develop a new perspective towards technology management and entrepreneurship, but it has also provided an understanding of the efficient manner in which technology has enabled us. Revolving around the process of learning and relearning, this programme focuses on a student-centred experience with a good balance of theory and practical work while also catering to participants coming in from diverse backgrounds.
