Message From The Dean

MORE THAN A SUM OF YOU.

As you stand at crossroads deciding the next stage of your education journey, ask yourself this question, “What do I hope to achieve in  university and beyond?”

Your time spent in university represents much more than just securing a degree. It is also about exploring your potential and acquiring the tools and knowledge to shape not just your desired career, but your aspirations in life as well – the sum of who you can become.

Our Bachelor of Accountancy (BAcc) programme provides a holistic education that is broad-based with a strong accounting core, covering business, technology, entrepreneurship, leadership skills, communications and social responsibility. Internship and community service ensure our students graduate with hands-on experience and are ready for the corporate world. Our Second Majors are designed to groom our students to excel in high-growth areas in the accounting industry. The Second Major in Accounting Data and Analytics features data technology and accounting applications courses that are developed in line with industry needs, while our Second Major in Financial Forensics will equip students with the required knowledge and skills to detect and prevent fraud – an important competency in today’s volatile business environment.

Our goal at the SMU School of Accountancy (SoA) is to nurture future talents who are fluent in accounting data and analytics applications; capable of communicating analyses effectively and equipped with sound accounting knowledge to make good judgement and recommendations. Above all, we believe in empowering our students to chart their own education journey and provide ample opportunities for students to enrich their tertiary experiences – be it pursuing their interests in the arts or sports, building professional skills with multiple internships, gaining global exposure through an overseas exchange or even starting their own businesses.

Ultimately, it’s in your hands. Whether you choose to complete the programme in 3 or 4 years, we encourage you to make the most of your time with us at SoA. After all, it is our goal to make you More than a Sum of You.

We look forward to welcoming you as our student.
