SMU continues to lead the way in Singapore’s tertiary landscape through regularly updated and innovative curriculums, interactive learning and global exposure. Since its inception in 2000, SMU has graduated close to 15,000 students who continue to thrive and excel across a wide range of careers and industries. SMU President Professor Arnoud De Meyer said: "At the core of our curriculum is an unrelenting pursuit of excellence. This is the forward-thinking education we deliver for the movers and shakers of tomorrow." Chairman of the SMU Board of Trustees Mr Ho Kwon Ping said: "We train our students to think, analyse and solve the future problems of the world, problems that do not yet exist." Mr Ho added: "More than ever, society needs graduates who can connect with people and who are capable of solving compelling problems; and a university that anticipates change and challenges conventional thinking.”
