Voices from Faculty

"SMU has the most established MAF program in the region. Students will get a good mix of academic rigor as well as practical relevance. I’ve enjoyed teaching for this program and interacting with the students. Our graduating students are well-trained and motivated. I encourage you to be part of our program and join the growing regional network of SMU finance alumni."

"Teaching the students from the MAF programme has been an enriching experience for me. The interactions are bi-directional and I have also learnt a lot from the students as many of them come with rich industry experience which benefitted the entire class."

"The students ask practical and insightful questions. Often, one or two will email the class about an interesting development relating to the material covered in class. This reflects both the interest and level of subject knowledge that may not be common in other graduate level programmes."

"I always enjoy teaching the students in the MAF/ GMF programmes. They are very eager to learn and enjoy the exposure to new asset classes and investment strategies that we cover in Alternative Investments. Inevitably I find a handful of students in each cohort who push me for more information, who want to extend their learning beyond the classroom, and that is a very rewarding experience for me as an instructor."
