Since it was incorporated on 12 January 2000, Singapore Management University (SMU) has established undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to produce leaders and creative entrepreneurs capable of excelling in a rapidly changing and dynamic world.
From the start, we have set out to provide a different model of education. And in a short span of time, we have set a benchmark for shaping and nurturing leaders, developing talents and spearheading research in Singapore and the region.
Our university, located in the heart of Singapore, puts us at the doorstep of the business world. The city experiences a new heartbeat as we inject vibrancy, innovation and dynamism into our 4.5 hectare campus, which is purposefully designed for a seamless exchange of ideas between our university and the community. We strongly believe in a learning environment that is open and relevant to today’s economy, and we encourage knowledge and talent development that will impact the future of Asian business, and benefit society.
The university is home to some 8,300 undergraduate and postgraduate students and comprises six Schools offering undergraduate, graduate, and PhD programmes in Business Management, Accountancy, Economics, Information Systems Management, Law and the Social Sciences.
