A case in point is the role that SMU SIS plays in national initiatives such as SMART

Nation; Analytics for Business, Consumer & Social Insights; Cybersecurity & Data

Privacy; Urban Management & Sustainability; Ageing-in-Place; and Financial

Services Technology (FinTech). We work with many national agencies and leading

industry players on joint projects in these areas. These organisations actively seek

our students to work as interns and full-time employees.

As our economy and global landscape shift rapidly, our School is well-positioned

to equip you to be a part of this transformation. Our SIS students can

make lives better, and make society more responsive to people’s needs

and aspirations, and improve business innovation and productivity.

I invite you to make SIS your choice for the next phase of your

learning journey.

School of Information Systems

The SMU School of Information Systems (SIS) has been remarkably successful both locally and globally. People who get acquainted with our

School describe us as a “gem” and “one of Singapore’s best kept secrets”.

The School is a great place to study IT and Information Systems because of the way we bring together the academic depth with real-world

business, management, government and social needs. Our BSc (IS) is internationally recognised for successfully integrating innovative

software applications with people and business settings.

our faculty guiding students) is at the heart of

this culture.

ON PROGRAMMING

CA: Programming is a lot about logic and math.

ST: You learn the key concepts about information systems and how

the surrounding ecosystem works, the important cornerstones

and empower yourself to build applications by learning how to

code.

BMY: Programming is about solving problems, through a methodical

way of thinking.

ON HAVING NO PROGRAMMING KNOWLEDGE

CA: Most of the stuff we do here has to do with basic logic or

application of theory. We start from ground zero and therefore, JC

students will not be disadvantaged. Many of us from the JC route

came to SIS without any IT background and have done very well.

ON THE SIS COMMUNITY

EL: I like the family spirit in SIS.

CA: There is a strong community in SIS. The students, faculty and

staff are very close to one another and are always willing to help

each other.

ON OUR PROFESSORS & INSTRUCTORS

EL: SIS has lots of dedicated faculty members who will go the extra

mile to help you in your studies.

GT: Our professors and instructors are friendly and approachable.

ST: Beyond the projects, the ability to tap on the knowledge and

energy of the professors have allowed me to think deeper, push

further and strive to become more prepared to take on life’s

challenges beyond my time here as a student.

ON THEIR FUTURE CAREERS

EL: This programme empowers you with the fl exibility to choose any

industry that you want. Every industry needs technology and you

will be spoilt for choice!

CA: I can get to choose to join a variety of companies across different

industries. I am contemplating joining a consultancy fi rm as a

technology analyst, offering businesses different technology

solutions that will help their organisations grow.

GT: The rigorous training provided by the school helps to prepare

me for my working life and the multiple opportunities to work

with experts in the industry have provided me great insights

and exposure.

ST: I would like to work in the space of FinTech as I am highly

interested in the developments happening in this space. It

involves a mixture of fi nance and technology which happen to be

my areas of interest.

ON THEIR PROJECTS

GT: Project work is the most enjoyable element in SIS. The process of

thinking of new ideas, prototyping and completing the project with

your group members is fun and enjoyable. The entire process

where you see your ideas evolve from a simple brainstorming

session into a fully functional working solution that is capable

of helping people in their daily lives gives me the greatest

satisfaction.

ST: I really enjoy the project component of our SIS modules. These

projects often give us the opportunity to challenge ourselves, to

stretch beyond classroom learning, to fi nd out more about

industry practices and trends, and to apply them.

ON THEIR TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE AT SIS

EL: SIS will equip you with the basic skills you will need to turn your

dreams into reality.

CA: The skill sets I gained in SIS have far exceeded my expectations.

ST: The SMU and SIS experience has been nothing short of

amazing. The mix of the SMU pedagogy and the rigour of the

SIS curriculum is something unique that develops you to be

technologically sound while being business savvy. Coupled with

the soft skills that come with the SMU pedagogy, we have learnt

how to be well-rounded individuals with strong technical skills.

While still an undergraduate in 2013, Lee Xiang Rui with two SMU

students founded Nectary Studio. It is an idea factory that aims to

design fun solutions that provide an intuitive experience for clients.

“Guess The Word SG” is a game application to help Singaporeans to

appreciate their roots and understand our unique culture.

In August 2015, Lee Xiang Rui and three other

SMU graduates launched the Web platform

“OneThreeOneFour” which is a Chinese phrase

meaning “eternity”. The

platform links couples in

Singapore with photographers

based abroad for wedding

photography. It was

developed to streamline the

planning process for couples

who want to organise their

own overseas shoot.

Originally US is co-founded by Tay Wei Kiat and it has created more

than 30 apps for hospitality groups, property firms and government

agencies since starting in 2015.

One of its most successful app is SG BusLeh, which informs

commuters the time taken for their bus to arrive and show the

approximate physical location of the bus. Launched in May 2015,

the free app is the highest rated on the Android store! “We are quite

proud of this app (SG BusLeh) because it is practical and relevant to

the local market.”

In November 2015, Wei Kiat launched

his new startup, Hoi.US, a business

intelligence and mobile point-of-sale

company. HoiPOS aims to modernise the

point-of-sale (POS) industry that is

traditionally filled with solutions developed

more than 10 years ago, by providing

real-time, easy to understand yet

crucial intelligence for F&B business

owners to make better decision.

Create an app that helps couples or bus commuters or

just for fun! Having a career as a technopreneur has

always been my lifelong dream. I have always wanted

to combine innovations in technology with innovations

in business. The start-up culture in SIS is

extremely encouraging.

My job is to transform a client’s ideas into a working,

useful and well-designed mobile app.
