Programme Overview

Uniquely situated in the central business district of Singapore, one of Asia's most cosmopolitan cities, the Singapore Management University (SMU) is establishing new frontiers in the ambit of business education for Singapore and Asia. SMU's abundance of facilities has elevated its visibility and standing to that of many of the world's leading urban universities.

Building upon this bedrock, the Lee Kong Chian School of Business is gaining momentum to be positioned as one of Asia's leading business schools.

The SMU MBA emphasises quality over quantity and ensures that your MBA experience with us will be both enriching as well as rewarding. Our professors, industry experts and practitioners selected from about 300 faculty across SMU's six schools are ready to engage and imbue you with their expert domain knowledge. Complementing the classroom experience are our administrators and Career Services team who are fully committed to assisting you throughout your MBA Programme.

The flexibility of the SMU MBA gives you the option to complete your MBA journey in a 12-month duration for the Full-time Programme or an 18-month duration for the Part-time Programme. This allows you to adjust the Programme to fit your work schedules as a busy professional.

In addition to our active engagement of the business community as recruiters, board members, donors, research partners and guest lecturers, we have also established linkages with more than 2,000 companies, providing an unparalleled connection to the business communities of Singapore and Asia.


You are reading this message because you are successful at what you do and you want to deepen and widen your impact. You have great ideas and you want to learn to develop them through engagement with others. You are interested in meeting peers who share your enthusiasm and your interest to innovate. You want to learn how to source funds, attract investments and build momentum for change. In other words, you want to work with others to make a difference.

We designed the SMU MBA for you. In this programme you can accelerate your leadership trajectory by honing both your hard and soft skills. You will learn not only to think critically, strategise, research, analyse business decisions, and execute plans, but also to understand yourself and others, communicate, collaborate, negotiate, network and lead. Leveraging a state-of-the-art curriculum, engaged instructors who are able to bridge theory and practice, and a wide selection of electives in Marketing, Finance, Strategy, Innovation, Technology and Supply Chain Management, you can expedite your next career move in South-East Asia or beyond. Not only because of the knowledge you will gain but also because of the critical capabilities you will develop through the programme’s various experiential learning methods: regional case studies, business study missions, international exchanges, internships with world-class companies, and project-based courses in partnership with leading organisations.
