UNB’s Master of Technology Management and Entrepreneurship (MTME) program combines technological thinking with practical business skills to promote an entrepreneurial mindset in students with technical (engineering, science, computer science, etc) backgrounds. Students enjoy a project-based structure of the program highly focused on experiential learning.

Our small, collaborative classes are held in the J. Herbert Smith Centre for Technology Management and Entrepreneurship, a centre with over 35 years in the ever-changing world of technology. Students discover the market potential of their ideas and learn how to commercialize research with access to a variety of technical and non-technical resources.
