Introduction & Vision
The Singapore Management University (SMU) places a high priority on developing and maintaining a consistent corporate image in order to reinforce its status and position, both in the local and wider communities.
Our brand is much more than a series of words, or a logo. It embodies what SMU is all about; it tells people who we are, what we stand for, and what we offer.

Brand Proposition
We believe in making change that matters.
The Singapore Management University (SMU) places a high priority on developing and maintaining a consistent corporate image in order to reinforce its status and position, both in the local and wider communities.
Our brand is much more than a series of words, or a logo. It embodies what SMU is all about; it tells people who we are, what we stand for, and what we offer.

Brand Personality
Personality is what makes us recognisable to others. It’s not just what we do but the way in which we do it. Our personality is the way we express ourselves outwardly and these traits are important tools in helping us identify and frame the content of our communications.
The SMU Brand Personality is the combination of characteristics or qualities that form our distinctive character.

Personality and purpose go hand-in-hand, and what we interpret as meaningful is shaped by who we are as an institution and the values that we share.
In our communication, the SMU brand personality is best expressed through the tone of voice and imagery we select, and this should be centred around the proposition of Meaningful Impact.
SMU Signature Family

Corporate Colours
Corporate Colours play an important role in projecting a recognisable brand identity for the University. Use of the two corporate colours is critical when reproducing the University Signature. These are henceforth known as:

SMU BLUE
The deep blue colour is strong and classic. It is legible and authoritative; conveying a sense of clear direction of this powerful stable colour. It is cool, confident and dignified.
Colour Codes
Pantone 2766 C
C100 M87 Y0 K58
R20 G28 B82
Hex 141C52
SMU GOLD
The use of gold in the identity brings in a combination of richness and lightness. It is also a counterbalance to the dark blue.
Gold is at the opposite end of the colour spectrum. As such the colours complement one another.

The SMU International Advisory Council was created to establish, strengthen and deepen SMU’s collaboration and engagement with the government, academic and business communities in the key Southeast Asian countries and China/Hong Kong.
It seeks to collaborate with and involve friends of SMU and its alumni to reach out to corporates and grow the friends of the community in overseas countries. The Council will provide platforms for active engagement between SMU’s overseas alumni, international students, and the local business community and academia.
The aim is to showcase SMU’s thought leadership, thereby providing opportunities for regional impact and creating international relevance for SMU and its stakeholders.

What do our students say?

SMU’s flexible curriculum with a guaranteed Second Major and Global Exposure made me a Self-Directed Learner. Through overseas community service and exchanges, I acquired Intercultural Understanding and Sensitivity to complement my Critical Thinking skills to resolve challenges effectively."
Teng Hui Xin Janessa
Honorary General Secretary of The Mentoring Circle
Class of 2024, Lee Kong Chian School of Business, Bachelor of Business Management
Tell us how the educational experience in SMU helped you to acquire the The Graduate Learning Outcomes?
The flexibility within the curriculum allowed me to take charge and tailor my own learning experiences in SMU. I became a more self-directed learner and followed my passion to select Strategic Management (1st Major) and Psychology (2nd Major). I was also able to utilise the knowledge I learnt from both majors during my internship.
The core curriculum courses in SMU are intellectually stimulating and classes were conducted in thought-provoking ways. The small class sizes allowed engaging discussions within courses such as Big Questions and Ethics & Social Responsibility. I gained new perspectives and could better understand the way individuals think. This helped me during the experiential-based learning projects as I was better prepared to be a critical thinker. Participating in projects from SMU-X and UOB-Asian Enterprise Institute, I gained exposure to real-life challenges to propose feasible solutions for our clients.
Describe a highlight of your student life that prepared you to be future-ready!
Through my student life experiences in local and overseas community services, I gained intercultural understanding and sensitivity and could better appreciate the different aspects of culture and heritage.
Over a total of 14-months period in 2 projects, I conducted a cultural exchange workshop while on an overseas community service project and worked to improve the overall wellbeing of beneficiaries in Singapore and Philippines with other SMU students. These experiences have shaped me to be who I am today as a leader, and I have learnt how to better communicate any ideas while being sensitive to the needs of others.

My journey at SMU was filled with guidance and support that afforded me opportunities to follow my passion. With a Multidisciplinary curriculum in Business and Information Technology. I am well-positioned to contribute to the technology industry."

Talent & Growth Director of SMU Business Intelligence Analytics
Class of 2023, Master of Information Technology in Business, Class of 2022, Bachelor of Business Management
Tell us how the educational experience in SMU helped you to acquire the The Graduate Learning Outcomes?
My time in SMU has taught me never to give up on my dreams! It was rather late into my Bachelor of Business Management degree journey that I realised that I wanted to pursue a career in technology. SMU’s flexible academic pathways meant that I was able to build interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary expertise by taking courses from both Lee Kong Chian School of Business and School of Computing and Information Systems, which ended up being crucial for me as I pivoted into the tech industry as a Data Analyst.
My project experience during the Entrepreneurship Practicum with the Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship gave me a shot at validating and market-testing potential business, and my time with an SMU-X project gave me the chance to work with non-profits, local SMEs, and MNCs to solve real business challenges. These opportunities allowed me to hone my critical thinking and problem solving skills, as the projects now had real impact and constraints!
Describe a highlight of your student life that prepared you to be future-ready!
The opportunities to work in teams were also abundant in co-curricular activities. I enjoyed student experiences as I was encouraged to step outside of my comfort zone to drive signature events such as SMU Sports Camp and SMU Wakiki when I served in SMU Sports Union management committee. Our collaboration as a team, complementing each other’s strength and weakness, while working towards a common goal allowed me to grow my leadership skills to the next level.
My community service experience in Project Vikasa, working with an overseas partner in Jaipur, India gave me perspective on the issues faced by communities outside of Singapore. This increased my understanding of the Asian context and sustainability issues, which led me to realise that I do have a duty as global citizens to give back to communities around the world.
Whatever you need to thrive at SMU—wellbeing resources, disability support, insurance information, care and crisis help, or guidance on student conduct—you’ll find it here in one place.
