Our approach

Every student takes the entrepreneurship module

Whatever their field. It covers project design, business planning, management and follow-up — because our stated aim is that graduates can start a business, not only apply for a job.

The institute also runs the Smart Training Center, offering short courses and practical seminars for individuals, professionals and students.
