SMU School of Accountancy: Bridging Knowledge and Shaping Leaders
At the SMU School of Accountancy, we bridge knowledge through research and collaboration with the industry as we work together to groom the next generation of accounting professionals. Watch to find out how.
Launched in 2001, the School of Accountancy (SoA) is the second school to be established in SMU.
SoA began with a cohort of 90 Bachelor of Accountancy students and eight faculty members. The undergraduate programme became the first American-styled broad-based accountancy programme in Singapore, with a curriculum that met the accreditation requirements of the major accounting regulatory bodies.
Currently, SoA has a faculty team of close to 50 and offers the following distinctive programmes: the Bachelor of Accountancy, Master of Professional Accounting and most recently, Master of Science in Accounting (Data & Analytics) and PhD in Accounting. SoA also offers the joint-postgraduate programmes – Tsinghua-SMU Master of Science in CFO Leadership and SMU-ZJU Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) (Accounting and Finance). These programmes are designed in line with the development of Singapore as a leading global hub for accounting research, services and professionals for the Asia Pacific.
