Industry Collaborations
Keeping in touch with industry is of utmost importance to us so that our courses continue to be relevant and responsive to industry needs and trends.
We establish and maintain strategic links with industry by:
-
playing a proactive and contributing role through mutually beneficial partnership and collaboration;
-
engaging in industry-based applied research and consultancy projects;
-
providing market-oriented continuing education and customised training;
-
placing students and teaching staff on local and oversea attachments;
-
placing students to work on their final year projects with external organisations.
