COVID-19 Information: Please check the end of this section

Singapore Management University (SMU) commenced its curriculum in 2000 with the School of Business, which welcomed its pioneer cohort of students in August 2000. In 2004, the Lee Foundation contributed S$50 million to SMU in honour of the late Dr Lee Kong Chian, a well-known Southeast Asian businessman, philanthropist and community leader. In recognition of the Lee Foundation's generosity, SMU named in perpetuity the School of Business, the building and the university-wide scholars programme after Dr Lee Kong Chian.Today, LKCSB is a dynamic Asian business school with about 3,000 students and over a hundred full-time faculty members with postgraduate degrees from renowned universities such as Cornell, Harvard, INSEAD, Oxford, Stanford and Yale. The school offers undergraduate, master's (including MBA and EMBA) and doctoral programmes and is affiliated with a number of research centres such as the Institute of Service Excellence and the Centre for Marketing Excellence.In 2011, LKCSB received both the AACSB accreditation and a five-year EQUIS accreditations. The School has thus the distinction of being one of the youngest schools in the world to be accredited. In June 2012, LKCSB also gained admission into the EMBA Council to join the ranks of other internationally-renowned business schools.

COVID19 information:

In Singapore Management University, our priority is to ensure that our students are able to start their programme in a safe campus environment. Given the nature of EMBA programmes, we believe that a physical lecture delivery would be a more rewarding experience and have decided to shift the start date of our EMBA intake to October. SMU continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation developments both globally and locally, and prospective students should be assured that we are working closely with leading authorities and keeping in mind our students’ health and safety. Recruitment activities for our EMBA programme are still ongoing virtually and prospective students are able to continue to reach us online.
