Message from the Dean

As the number 1 accounting school in Asia, the School of Accountancy at Singapore Management University (SMU) has, since its inception, been committed to nurturing globally minded leaders and thinkers with critical thinking skills and cross-disciplinary integration capabilities. This mission has attracted many outstanding entrepreneurs and senior executives to join our learning community.

Against the backdrop of China’s continued rapid development and the growing collaboration between China and Singapore, we have embraced innovation and seized new opportunities by joining forces with Zhejiang University School of Management—one of China’s most prestigious institutions—to launch the DBA Program for Entrepreneurs, with a strong focus on accounting, finance, and management.

Rooted in Singapore—a strategic hub in the Asia-Pacific region—this program leverages the city-state’s advantages as an international financial center and its robust institutional framework. It is designed to align closely with the pulse of global economic transformation and technological advancement. The program not only integrates academic rigor with business practice but also champions the philosophy of lifelong learning, encouraging participants to continuously grow and evolve in a rapidly changing world.

We believe that learning is not a short-term sprint, but a lifelong journey. Truly exceptional entrepreneurs are not only defined by their sharp business acumen but also by their enduring curiosity and capacity for renewal.

Here, you will embark on an intellectually challenging and inspiring academic journey. Here, you will walk alongside like-minded professors and peers to explore the frontiers of knowledge. Here, you will recharge, grow, and prepare yourself for the boundless possibilities of the future.

On behalf of the School of Accountancy at SMU, I warmly welcome you to join us. Let us embark together on a lifelong journey of learning—a journey shaped by wisdom, responsibility, and a shared commitment to the future.
