Mr Lee Wai Fai

Group Chief Financial Officer, UOB Group,
Father of School of Accountancy graduate Lee Lin Ze

“Lin Ze needed to know what real working life is like and interning at three different places was useful in helping him understand that he must be able to work with different people under different circumstances. Through his internships, he gained experience in sales and trading, in investment banking, and of course, audit. I think his internships focused his thoughts, so he could actually see for himself the different responsibilities, the different working environments and obviously the different cultures that come with working in various companies. This placed him in better stead to decide for himself what he wanted to do in his future career.”

Parents of Neel Ketan Modha, Lee Kong Chian School of Business graduate

"As a young University building the future of today's generation, SMU was an easy choice to make, once we attended its Open House. We are so delighted with the diverse exposure Neel got in SMU, from leading overseas community service, to being part of the SMU Sports Union management committee, among many leadership opportunities. The time and effort that faculties and staff of SMU invest in its students to equip them to face tomorrow's challenges is evident from the all-around development of students and the exemplary job offers they receive. We would strongly recommend prospective students and their parents explore the options that SMU offers. We are confident you will thank yourselves for making a great choice."

Dr Ma Ruolin

Mother of Louis Lau,
Graduate from the Yong Pung How School of Law

“In an ever evolving commercial landscape, I think that SMU is a young university that is poised to take on the challenges of the real world. Its curriculum has what it takes to equip my child with the necessary skill sets in his journey to become an effective advocate and solicitor.

I am, in particular, attracted by SMU’s willingness to marry law subjects with corporate/commercial modules such as accounting and finance to create a holistic and practical curriculum. Beyond academics, I am very happy that SMU has offered my child many personal development opportunities, both local and overseas, such as leadership roles, public speaking and community service. Throughout his 4 years in SMU, I’ve witnessed my son grow into a competent and confident young man willing to challenge himself and serve his community to the best of his abilities.

These are my personal experiences, and I commend them to parents whose child has received an offer, and who are looking for a modern, practical and effective legal education. I am confident that your child will be a beneficiary of Yong Pung How School of Law’s education, just like how my son has likewise benefited.”

Mr Koh Seng Chye and Mdm Toh Yok Lan

Parents of Lynn Koh,
Gradute from the School of Computing and Information Systems

“The reason why our daughter chose SMU was because of her interests in Artificial Intelligence which the School of Computing and Information Systems offers. Through these 4 years, our daughter has become more confident and better with interpersonal relationships especially after she joined SMU Peer Helpers. Our tip to the parents who are new to SMU is to encourage your child to take the leap of faith, be supportive of their decision and be there for them as they enter a new phase of life at SMU.”

Mr WB Lim & Mdm Sunnie Chua

Parents of Sammie Lim,
Graduate from the School of Economics

“SMU has transformed Sammie into a more confident and well-spoken young lady. The wide-ranging learning experiences that SMU offers empowered her to dream big, dare to fail, and give her best in all she embarks on. It’s heartening to see her resilience and determination in the face of challenges, tackling all obstacles with a smile!”
