SingaporeManagement University (SMU)
"Fromits conception, SMU was designed to provide a different model of universityeducation here in Singapore. We wanted to start with a clean slate instead ofjust adding another public university in the mould of the exiting ones. Fromthis starting point emerged a confluence of factors that make SMUspecial."

Former Deputy Prime Minister,Singapore
SMU Commencement 200
It was in 1997 that the Singapore government first mooted the idea of a third university for Singapore. Then Deputy Prime Minister Dr Tony Tan believed that the newuniversity should be different from the two established institutions - the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University(NTU). The government wanted SMU to be an experiment in diversity. SMU should be an American-style universityoffering a broad-based education, in contrast to Singapore's tradition of themore specialised British model.
SingaporeManagement University (SMU) was established in 12 Jan 2000. Offering a style of education modelled after The Wharton School SMU occupies a state-of-the-artcity campus located in the heart of Singapore's civic, cultural and business districts. SMU remains the only national university exclusively focused onproviding broad-based business education. By pioneering business, economic,legal, social science and technology oriented programmes that meet these needs,SMU has redefined tertiary education in Singapore. Already the University has achieved a high degree of recognition and respect in Singapore, Asia and beyond. |
