MANAGEMENT and Science University (MSU) began 2020 on an auspicious note with the university being selected as a finalist for the Asia-Pacific Triple E Awards by the Netherlands-based Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial and Engaged Universities (ACEEU).
Recognised as an institution that has designed and delivered an exceptional approach to embedding entrepreneurship throughout the university, MSU has developed its own unique understanding of being an entrepreneurial university aligned with the environment it operates in.
At the heart of MSU and spearheaded by MSU President and founder Prof Tan Sri Datuk Wira Dr Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid, entrepreneurship is nurtured not only among its students and staff but also in the university’s actions, contributing to positive impact on the wider social community.
Mohd Shukri received the Asia Pacific Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2017 for his entrepreneurial leadership in providing equal access to education as well as his successful creation of the MSU entrepreneurship ecosystem.
He was also named the SEBA 2019 Education Entrepreneur of the Year. The SME Entrepreneurship Business Awards (SEBA) is a recognition by the Malaysia Entrepreneur Foundation supported by the Ministry of Entrepreneurship Development Malaysia.
The university’s artificial reef public awareness and education MyCoral Eco-Marine Project saw it receiving the ITEX Gold Medal and Best Green Invention Award at the International Invention, Innovation and Technology Exhibition 2019.
In 2019, MSU also became ACEEU’s first university in Asia to be recognised as entrepreneurial and engaged, as its entrepreneurship ecosystem included the SEED and Jump$tart programmes for MSUpreneurs, Entrepreneurship Week by the MSU Faculty of Business Management and Professional Studies, and the MSU Leadership and Entrepreneurship Advancement and Development (LEAD) Institute.
Faculty expertise and skills are continuously developed and enhanced through collaborations with consultancies and agencies, participations and joint activities in research, and organising conferences.
