We recruited a number of students from SMU as interns for our strategic projects and have been impressed with the quality of SMU students. They learnt and assimilated quickly in the fast moving environment. In addition, they brought diversity and wisdom to complement our team.

Our corporate banking teams appreciate having SMU postgrad students around. Injecting fresh perspectives and energy, they are fast, eager learners and very much part of the team. In so many ways, this is a win-win partnership as their involvement helps us assess and understand the new generation of emerging talent.
Saurabh Jain
Head of Human Resources, Singapore, ABN AMRO Bank N.V. Singapore Branch
SMU’s Postgraduate Career Services team has been instrumental in helping me identify the SMU talent with the skillsets that I need in my team. The SMU talents who have completed an internship with the Data & Analytics team at SGX have all exhibited two desirable traits: eagerness to learn and do more, and a strong foundation in their area of expertise.

Head, Data & Analytics, Technnology, SGX
