Doctor of Innovation

About This Course

Innovation has been central to the creation, growth and expansion of companies. There have been very few programmes that train experienced professionals to become innovators, innovation managers and chief innovation officers.
Doctor of Innovation is designed to groom a growing market of working professionals who require practice-focused, multi-disciplinary training to address real innovation and productivity related issues within their organisations. This degree programme will equip students with the knowledge, skills and competencies to manage innovations in a large enterprise or formulate policies related to Corporate, National and Regional Innovation Systems. Graduates from this programme can also pursue a career in academia by taking up practice-oriented positions.

The programme will be delivered by senior professors who have extensive teaching and consultancy experience, and whose research work focus on use-driven issues. On top of the regular curriculum, students will also get the opportunity to learn from, and interact with internationally recognised innovation experts through our seminar and visitor programmes.

Students in this programme will also benefit from the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Area of Excellence at SMU.
