“SMU has indeed taught me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things to be a better version of myself. It has given me the confidence to step out into the real world and contribute back to society.”

How has your SMU scholarship benefited you so far?

Being an SMU scholar, I was able to embark on the summer programme in Cambridge and gain a lot of valuable life experience which I would not been able to otherwise gain. I was able to immerse myself in the ancient architecture and interesting lessons to further myself not only academically but learn how to manage myself independently.


With SMU, I have travelled to…

I am currently on an International Summer Exchange Programme in the UK which allows me to study up to 3 modules, modules that are totally different from what we can find in Singapore and opens my eyes to the different perspectives in the world. It is a life-changing experience because you must learn to manage independently while studying in a new setting and you get to meet people from all over the world.
