One of the biggest strengths of the SMU MBA was its focus on the case studies from real-world corporate business life. Due to the high class participation requirement in every course, I deeply analysed every case both analytically and strategically and gained important insights from these real life cases.

The SMU MBA has allowed me to acquire extensive knowledge, skills, network and confidence to work with businesses overseas in a shorter amount of time. The Career Services team has also provided various networking and information session events with companies where we secured internships. This very active industry collaboration allowed me to learn first-hand from global industry experts, such as e-commerce giant, Amazon, where I completed my internship.

What I like is the wide variety of networking opportunities open to SMU students across all postgraduate programmes, and the SMU MBA Mentorship Programme – a recent initiative started by the SMU MBA Alumni Office. In addition, most modules are conducted in a way where every student can maximise their participation in class, making our learning exciting and fruitful.

Coupled with the exposure to different cultures and business practices from across the world, the programme has succeeded in enhancing my abilities to adapt in an international environment. Doing an internship (which is compulsory), is also a key feature of SMU MBA as it greatly helps international students seek career opportunities in Singapore.
