Alumni Outcomes reflect 20% of the total ranking score.
Dean, School of Information Systems, Professor Pang Hwee Hwa commented, “This ranking reflects and reinforces the global stature of the SMU School of Information Systems and the Master of IT in Business in particular. For a university and programme which are relatively young by world standards, this is a significant achievement. Launched in 2007, our MITB programme has gone from strength to strength through our continual effort to harmonize our curriculum with the skills needed in the industry. Our diverse graduates are highly sought after by employers and our alumni enjoy successful careers in a wide variety of industries and roles.”
