This programme will be of tremendous value to students as highly trained professionals who can leverage and manage IT and operations in innovative and competent ways are in great demand with Financial Services companies. It also provides the necessary foundation for assuming increasing levels of responsibility and leadership at the interface of Financial Services business, technology and operations.

The SMU Master of IT in Business (Financial Services) programme is co-designed and co-delivered with Financial Services organisations and the supporting vendor community. The programme is deeply connected to the companies creating and delivering Financial Services to the local and global market place. It is also deeply connected to the companies supplying the technology services and applications to end uses. The connection with industry means that the curriculum will be relevant and responsive to emerging trends and that our students will be well connected with potential employers.

The Singapore Management University (SMU) is proud to be the first university in Asia to create this type of unique and powerful Masters degree programme. We are fully committed to making this programme a valuable experience for each student, and to being a highly valued educational partner for the Financial Services industry.
