SMU is a great place to grow into being productive researcher. Our programme is focused on graduating a few highly qualified Ph.D. students each year. We believe our focus on fewer students will allow us to provide the mentoring and research support that will facilitate students? research publications, an important factor in helping our Ph.D. students obtain strong academic jobs. We encourage students to work with multiple faculty to gain a variety of research experiences. Our faculty are producing strong publications yearly and have international collaborator networks. Research is strongly supported at both the university and government levels thus making available monetary support for research activities in the form of pay for research time, attendance at research conferences, and ongoing research support.
Our group has a strong focus on research which is reflected in the research published by our faculty and students in world-class journals, a supportive culture where we learn from each other (e.g., department brown bags), wealth of resources that support your research needs (e.g., research laboratory), and a collegial community that values the development of students. As a result, this is a community that not only wants to see its students at their best but also provides the support and resources to make that a reality.
- Shereen Fatimah, Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources
The course programme for students at SMU is logically structured and well-balanced. In addition to the required foundational classes, students are able to select among a large number of higher-level electives and advanced courses. Further, students are encouraged to take classes in related disciplines such as psychology and sociology. Importantly, our approach is to balance course work with hands-on research. Thus, students will be involved from the very beginning in research projects aimed at resulting in top-tier publications.
Our lineup of courses is good because we're exposing students to theory, OB constructs, and methods. By teaching you about theories, we're introducing you to the most critical component of research publications: theoretical frameworks. Once you know a theory, ideas for research come easily. Teaching about OB constructs gives you the knowledge of what constructs to use to test the theories. Finally, teaching about methods gives you the skills to test whether your ideas work or not.
- Gary J. Greguras, Professor of Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources
Balancing time spent teaching and researching is important as a Ph.D. student: you typically need teaching evaluations to obtain a job, but teaching too much takes away from time spent obtaining valuable publications. Here you will have the ability to teach at least one OBHR course after working closely with a faculty mentor currently teaching this class. We believe both the opportunity to teach at least one class and the option not to teach too many classes will help you to achieve this research?teaching balance.
Like elsewhere, the advantages and opportunities of living in a major city come at a price. Singapore is more expensive to live in than some other places. However, in consideration of the higher cost of living SMU offers a generous stipend to qualified students that will cover all essential needs for the time you are a Ph.D. student here. Qualified students also receive a waiver of registration and tuition fees. Additionally, as a student in the programme you are able to work on internal faculty research grants (which most of us have yearly) as Research Assistants or Associates to earn additional funding subject to SMU's prevailing guidelines on RA/TA work.

Our culture is best described as highly collegial, friendly, and informal. We like our careers. Faculty doors are often open and going down the hall to ask someone a question is common. Many of us eat lunch together frequently, and on Fridays after our bi-weekly Area Research Seminar we go downstairs to have a soda or beer together. Ph.D. students in OBHR will be included in these and similar community-building activities ? we understand that in approximately four years Ph.D. students will become colleagues that we have the pleasure to see at annual conferences and we look forward to building these lasting relationships with you.

Teaching Mentorships and Teaching Experience
Every student is expected to participate in a one-semester teaching mentorship in which the student acts as ?under-study? to a faculty member teaching an undergraduate-level OBHR course. This mentorship provides exposure to the main aspects of university-level teaching including course design, course delivery, and student assessment.
To gain autonomous teaching experience and confidence, PhD students are expected to teach at least one undergraduate-level OBHR course at SMU prior to graduation. If desired, it may be possible for students to teach additional OBHR courses to gain further teaching experience. The teaching duties may be used to count towards fulfilling unpaid Research Assistant (RA)/Teaching Assistant (TA) duties, which is part of students' PGR training. (For information on RA/TA duties, please see section on Admission, Fees and Scholarships)

Additional Methodological Training Opportunities
