Focusing on leadership, communication and business ethics with a strong grounding in management knowledge and concepts, the SMU MBA is designed to produce leaders and entrepreneurs for Asia who can make an impact on the complex global economy. The SMU MBA introduces an unconventional curriculum with emphasis on management and leadership training – a highly valued area of expertise expected of middle and senior level managers, and much sought after by CEOs and industry head honchos. As the cornerstone postgraduate programme of SMU, the SMU MBA is built on new ideas and research of a distinguished corps of senior academics selected from among over 200 faculty from across SMU's six schools. It will also draw on real-life, real-time experience of industry professionals who are business world veterans to combine academic vigour with hands-on business savvy. Participants will benefit from the broad-based and interactive approach of the established SMU brand of pedagogy where business education is closely interwoven with studies in law, economics, accounting, finance, social sciences and information systems.
