HOST UNIVERSITY:

Singapore Management University
Since it was incorporated on 12 January 2000, SMU has established undergraduate and postgraduate programmes that aim to produce leaders and creative entrepreneurs capable of excelling in a rapidly changing and dynamic world. Set up as Singapore's first publicly-funded autonomous university offering a style of education modelled after The Wharton School, SMU occupies a state-of-the-art city campus located in the heart of Singapore's civic, cultural and business districts.

To deliver a world-class curriculum, SMU has some 300 faculty who are selectively recruited from around the world to advance knowledge in teaching and research. They form an experienced and committed pool of talent who reinforce SMU's unique pedagogy of seminar-style teaching in small class sizes, creative thinking and dynamic exchange of ideas between faculty and students. In addition to recruiting some of the best academics in their fields, SMU also calls upon successful leaders in business and their professions for their specific expertise to combine academic vigour with hands-on business savvy.

By pioneering business, economic, legal, social science and technology oriented programmes that meet these needs, SMU has redefined tertiary education in Singapore. Already the University has achieved a high degree of recognition and respect in Singapore, Asia and beyond.
