In line with the government's announcement to make available places in local universities by 2015 for 30% of each Primary 1 cohort, SMU will be increasing its student intake by almost 10%, from the current 1750 to 1900. According to SMU, the newly created 150 places will be distributed across the different schools. At a recent media briefing, SMU President Professor Arnoud De Meyer also disclosed that the increase in intake will not affect the current 1 to 20 faculty-to-student ratio and the class size will be maintained at 45 students.
