The SMU MiM programme has given me the opportunity to work with people from all over Asia. Through this exposure, I’ve developed cultural intelligence and project management skills, while building a solid foundation in business theory. I am really impressed with the focused career support, the quality of professors and learning materials provided.

Aside from excellent academiclearning, I also benefitted from the world-class career services SMU provided. From having fantastic counsellors to participating in the numerous events the career services team organised, SMU enabled me to understand what I needed to kickstart my career, and more.
