Sports
 

By working closely with the SMU Sports Union (SSU), we provide development, enrichment and enjoyment through a wide variety of sports and recreational co-curricular activities. Students are also encouraged to participate in competitions like the Institute-Varsity-Polytechnic (IVP) Games, National Championships, Regional and International Games.

There are 37 Sports CCA Clubs registered with SMU’s Students’ Association. Each club varies in its objectives and may be recreational or competitive in nature.
