Smart-City Management & Technology Major

Cities around the world continue to grow in size and are evolving into connected and technology-enabled societies. Smart cities are the ones which make use of technology to make a positive impact to the lives of people, businesses and environment.

The new Smart-City Management and Technology major is a unique interdisciplinary programme that aims to develop skills in integrating the key success ingredients: Technology, Social Sciences and Management for innovating smart city solutions.

The curriculum equips students with data analytics and solution development skills, along with evidence-based reasoning to policy, business and social implications of smart city innovations. The programme offers flexible domain specialisation in either information systems, social science or management.
This programme plugs the industry’s talent gap in multi-disciplinary and future-ready professionals.

I am confident that you will find the programme as exciting as current students and potential employers.
