NUS Entrepreneurship Centre Testimonials “This course has enriched me with the multi-aspects of the business world. It is an eye-opening course. I certainly become stronger and gain substantial self confidence. Coming from an IT background, business is an unfamiliar territory for me. However, after this course, I am no longer afraid to discuss business problems with my colleagues, clients and even friends. Many thanks again for giving me this wonderful opportunity” - Vincent Chua Song Kiat, School of Computing, 2 nd Y “The amount of time and effort that we have put in the course (especially in the project) is no easy task, but the rewards we get at the end- the knowledge, the skills and the friendships makes it all worth it!” - Seow Aik Hoe““The topics and the way the lectures are conducted are very refreshing. I gained a lot of knowledge from the lecturers and fellow students. One strong point of the module is the way the grouping was carried out. It has students from different faculty promoting a more varied class discussion. ” - Lim Chin Soon, Faculty of Engineering, 3 rd Yr 9
