The SMU PhD programmes provide opportunities to our students to deepen their research expertise by collaborating with academics from within and outside the SMU community. Over the years, our students have published papers which have contributed towards the pool of academic knowledge. Our students’ research has been listed according to their fields of specialisation. Some of their papers have achieved international recognition through awards.
