Established in 2000, the Singapore Management University (SMU) is internationally recognised for its world-class research and teaching excellence.

SMU is known for its highly interactive, collaborative and project-based approach to learning, and for its emphasis on generating rigorous and high-impact multi-disciplinary research that addresses Asian issues of global relevance.

Home to some 10,000 students, SMU comprises six schools specialising in Accountancy, Business, Economics, Information Systems, Law and Social Sciences, offering a wide range of bachelors', masters' and PhD degree programmes. SMU’s city campus enjoys strategic linkages with business, government and the wider community through its research institutes, centres and labs.

SMU International Of�ce The Of�ce forges partnerships between SMU and leading universities to bring together students and faculty for academic programmes, research and service to create meaningful impact in Asia and around the world.

We have always encouraged students to leverage the myriad of opportunities provided by the University to experience the world... Nurturing students to be the best they can be, inculcating in them good values, and enabling them tothrive in, succeed and make their mark on the world, fuels our commitment to developing global-ready citizens.

SMU’s focus remains on delivering education and research to the highest standards, thus transforming students and impacting society.

It’s precisely because of the demands and constraints facing higher education today that we believe it’s essential to internationalise. Working collaboratively, the whole can begreater than the sum of parts. Our international partners are… one of our greatest assets as their close cooperation and endorsement help us to reach out to the rest of the world.

It's easy to be caught in the hustle and bustle of academic work, but underpinning this are opportunities like exchanges, study missions and community service projects that go beyond grades to really add value.

We hope to empower these women to improve their quality of life.” - Ms Ong Pei Yi (above), SMU Bachelor of Science (Economics), Year 1, in 2017

Going forward, we want to make sure no SMU student graduates without this precious global experience.
