Through the 18-month SMU Master of Business Administration programme, SMU alumnus Keeve Tan was able to hone his skills to enhance his performance at work in the financial sector as a Director of listed derivatives, over-the-counter and Electronic Forex Exchange at UOB Global Markets. While he considered other institutions that also had excellent MBA programmes, he chose SMU because of its part-time option and convenient location near the central business district. “SMU graduates seem more vocal, expressive of ideas, and thrive in an environment of diversity and rapid change. These are soft skills that are crucial in the disruptive economy we live in these days,” added Mr Tan.
