Asia needs leaders and entrepreneurs. If you would like to be one, I recommend you consider the SMU MBA, the cornerstone postgraduate programme of Singapore Management University.

The SMU MBA is built on new ideas and research coupled with proven methods from leading global programmes. Our distinguished faculty comprises senior academics and industry experts who are familiar with the most current business concepts and are passionate about teaching. Through the MBA, we are committed to creating opportunities for participants to interact with top business leaders at our vibrant campus in Singapore's city centre. Participants will also visit our corporate partners to better understand developments in a variety of industries. The ties between the business community and SMU are extensive and growing. Our MBA participants will have privileged access to the vast business network we have built.

The Flex-time and Full-time MBA programmes are designed to train participants in management and leadership so that they can make an impact on the global economy as an entrepreneur, the head of a Fortune 500 company or both. At SMU we believe an MBA should prepare participants for a career of growing responsibilities, not just the next job. Our general management-based curriculum balances functional and managerial knowledge. We provide career services from the start and support self-awareness training to prepare SMU MBAs for the long term.

Our MBA programme is unique in several ways. First, it emphasises management and leadership training. Such expertise is often cited as the most valuable training one can get from an MBA programme and sought by most companies but is often left in the shadow of MBA curricula. Second, to make the most of in-class time, basic finance and accounting concepts are studied prior to starting the programme. This ensures fuller in-class discussion and a solid basis to start this accelerated MBA. The full support we provide gets everyone up-to-speed before you begin.

As an MBA you become a part of the SMU community. Please come and visit our city campus. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Yours sincerely,
Professor Pang Eng Fong
Dean, Lee Kong Chian School of Business
