SMU Singapore Adcom on Career Opportunities for Students Post MBA
The SMU (Singapore Management University) Singapore MBA is fast becoming a popular program for applicants across Asia. The Lee Kong Chian School of Business, Singapore Management University’s business school, offers the program in a 12 month (full-time) and 18 month (part-time) format. This is one of the few excellent one-year full-time MBA programs in the Asian region. Asia in general, and Singapore in particular, are seeing rising interest in their MBA programs, and the SMU MBA is among the top options for an MBA in South East Asia. The program is relatively young (established in 2008), but its course content, industry links, top faculty, and excellent career services are already placing it high one the lists of MBA applicants. This program is already one of those to watch out for, and we at GyanOne are sure that the SMU MBA will soon scale greater heights. GyanOne interviewed the Admissions Team at the SMU Singapore MBA to explore their perspectives on student opportunities, careers, student life, and application best practices for the program.
The SMU Singapore MBA has been seeing increasing visibility and appeal among Indian students. What is the key value proposition or USP that the SMU MBA has for international students, especially those from South East Asia?
The SMU Singapore MBA has a team of faculty with real-world work experience who are able to impart their deep business knowledge to our MBA students. This, coupled with a curriculum that is designed with the needs of corporate recruiters in mind, provide a significant boost to our students’ next career move.
How does an SMU MBA compare with other top MBA programs in Singapore?
The SMU Singapore MBA offers one of the most accelerated MBA programmes in Singapore. Modelled after The Wharton School, it features an interactive style of teaching with a small class size. As a younger programme, the SMU Singapore MBA is able to offer one of the most up-to-date curriculum that seeks to provide MBA students with the right skills-set to overcome the challenges in today’s complex business world as well as to meet global recruiters’ needs. As soft skills such as communication, negotiation, critical thinking and leadership are much sought after in MBA graduates by corporate recruiters, the SMU Singapore MBA programme has an additional component featuring these skills, in addition to the traditional hard skills found in most MBA curriculum. In addition, SMU’s “Case Writing Initiative” produces case studies written on Asian companies and these case studies are used in our MBA programme. They complement those written on western companies, thus providing a balanced perspective in preparing our MBA students for their next career boost in Asia and beyond.
What learning and exposure does the SMU Singapore MBA offer students beyond the curriculum?
SMU has regularly played host to world leaders, Nobel laureates, business leaders, thought leaders, etc. In recent months, famous people who spoke at SMU included, Mrs Hillary Clinton, Prof Paul Krugman, Mr. Ratan Tata, Prof Tarun Khanna, and many more. Similarly, Phillippines President, Indonesian Trade Minister, Business Tycoons from Asean, have all spoken here at SMU. Our students can interact with them and learn first hand from these great minds.
In addition, our overseas business study trips take our students to companies of which they have learnt about in the classroom through case studies. This makes learning very real.
