THE SMU-XPERIENCE
SMU-X courses combine academic with experiential learning through projects that aims to solve current issues faced by industry partners. Conducted over one semester, we challenge students, faculty and partners to come together and tackle these real-world problems through interdisciplinary approaches and activities.
ADDRESSING SOCIETAL CHALLENGES AND CREATING REAL-WORLD IMPACT
We are committed to making significant contributions on a local, regional and global level. All SMU-X projects are designed to address real-world challenges faced by our society.
Interpreting Economies And Financial Markets
With the use of big data and new technological capabilities, fields such as accounting, finance and economies offer much untapped potential. Our SMU-X students seek to understand emerging trends and apply these to real-world challenges.
Strengthening Social Fabric And Quality Of Life
Pressing challenges confronting nations include ageing population, increasing levels of income inequality and discrimination faced by marginalised groups. Our SMU-X students seek to provide insights into how communities and societies can thrive harmoniously.
Navigating Boundaries And Borders
Personal, cultural and geographic borders are blurring while competition, co-operation and conflict among countries present their won challenges. Our SMU-X students seek to understand this evolving landscape and how it affects organisations and individuals.
Managing For Sustainability
Unsustainable practices in production and consumption today jeopardise and constrain options for future generations. Our SMU-X students seek to help firms and communities make decisions that foster long term sustainability.
Advancing Innovation And Technology
Innovation and entrepreneurship are necessary to ensure economically viable ways of doing things. Our SMU-X students seek to develop technological systems, methodologies and solutions that can create meaningful impact to businesses and communities.
