The SMU difference
Our programmes enhance integration and interdisciplinarity across the various SMU postgraduate research programmes, enabling students to gain a holistic learning experience and well-grounded approach to research.

Graduate Research Interdisciplinary Topics (GRIT)
Uncover new knowledge and novel solutions to today’s most challenging issues by taking a more holistic approach to research. GRIT is a series of interdisciplinary courses in unique but pressing topics (e.g., Machine Learning for Social Science & Applied Econometrics in Social Science).

Graduate Research Professional Development (GRPD)
The College provides a holistic experience in postgraduate research that is based on interdisciplinary programmes, courses and events. This cross-school experience is a significant shift from the traditional school-based experience.
