Overseas exposure programme

SMU has made it a requirement for all undergraduates to acquire overseas experience during their period of study at the University. When students approach their global exposure opportunities with an enthusiastic and open mind, the benefits are immense. Academically, gaining a first-hand, real-world perspective of issues learnt in the classroom serves to deepen students’ learning and knowledge application. More importantly, the journey builds independence, empathy, open-mindedness, not to mention soft-skills like communication and teamwork. These attributes not only build character and personal development, but also give students an edge when they are seeking employment and advancement in the competitive workplace.

100% of our students can embark on at least one global experience before graduating, by participating in any of the following SMU-organised overseas activities:

  • International Exchange Programme: Duration varies; as per programme requirement
  • Summer Exchange Programme: Duration varies; as per programme requirement
  • Short-Term Study Programme: Duration varies; as per programme requirement
