The BML Munjal University (BMU) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Singapore Management University (SMU).

In keeping with its core philosophy of creating a world-class, research-oriented university focusing on the advancement and dissemination of practically oriented knowledge, benchmarked with the best global standards, the university will work with SMU towards establishing joint academic and research programmes.

Established in 2000, SMU is already a well-known Asian city university, and is internationally recognised for its world-class research and distinguished teaching.

Modelled after the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, SMU has quickly established itself as a premier university capable of generating high-impact and rigorous research that addresses Asian issues of global relevance. SMU education is reputed for its highly interactive pedagogy, with seminar-style teaching in small-sized classes.

Since its inception in 2014, BMU is committed to creating an industry-immersive learning environment through innovative teaching, learning, and research techniques.

BMU fosters the spirit of entrepreneurship to inspire students and faculty to push the boundaries in terms of research and innovation. Through its partnerships with leading corporates and universities such as KPMG, IBM, Siemens, and Imperial College London, BMU has created a platform for its students to gain global exposure and skills and opportunities for its faculty to collaborate with the industry to conduct cutting-edge research.

Talking about the collaboration, Akshay Munjal, President, BML Munjal University, said: “We are delighted to partner with SMU. It is a significant step in our endeavour to create a world-class teaching and learning environment. Both universities are aligned in their vision of providing research-based, hands-on practical learning to their students and we see significant synergies and gains for both parties. This collaboration will provide our students and faculty with a great opportunity to gain relevant global insights and exposure.”
