Message from Dean
Dean,
College of Graduate Research Studies
The Singapore Management University’s (SMU) College of Graduate Research Studies (CGRS) enhances integration and interdisciplinarity across the various SMU postgraduate research (PGR) programmes, enabling our PGR students to gain a holistic learning experience and well-grounded approach to their research. This is achieved through interdisciplinary programmes, shared courses and professional training workshops. Furthermore, CGRS will strengthen networking, cohort building and collaborative opportunities for PGR students across the various programmes, facilitated through the student and alumni groups. Ultimately, our PGR students will be poised to tackle challenges affecting business and society across boundaries with confidence, and create significant impact.
SMU offers Professional Doctorate Programmes designed for senior- and mid-level practitioners (such as business leaders, consultants, engineers or scientists), and for applied scholars who are working at the boundaries of academic and practitioner-oriented work. The programmes train practitioners to translate and apply academic research into solutions for stakeholders in the real world. You will bring value to your professional field through this enhanced ability to translate and apply research results into evidence-based decisions, policies, programmes and solutions.
On behalf of SMU, I welcome you to embark on an exciting doctorate journey with us!
