The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted traditional businesses and work environments around the world. On the other hand, the pandemic has also created new job prospects and lucrative opportunities in the face of digital change.

With the rise in technological advancements further triggered by the pandemic, industry leaders are now looking for up-to-date information technology skills to fuel development and increase productivity.

THE Singapore Management University(SMU) Master’s Program in Business Information Technology (MITB) opens up various opportunities for students looking to make an impact in a post-COVID economy.

With four specialization tracks, namely FinTech and Analytics, Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation, the program is designed to equip graduates with the relevant know-how and exposure to different disciplines to broaden their career prospects and stand out in an increasingly competitive job market.

In an era of disruption where technology has leveled the playing field in some areas and created unfair advantages in others, businesses are under pressure to capitalize on new opportunities while mitigating emerging threats.

Launched in 2007, the postgraduate professional diploma programme was introduced by SMU to meet the growing demand for professionals equipped with the domain knowledge to steer their organisations towards success in this newly transformed landscape.

It was the first of its kind at the time, and it continues to innovate to stand out over the years, with a program that is regularly updated to stay in line with the needs of the industry.

The flexibility to self-select courses from different pathways based on their fields of activity, career goals and interests is what sets this program apart.

This postgraduate degree involves intensive classroom teaching through a collaborative, project-based approach that involves students from different academic and professional backgrounds coming together to work on real-world business problems.

It also offers workshops led by industry professionals and participation in simulations to broaden strategic perspectives across different industries. This allows students to gain insight into best practices in digital transformation and immerse themselves in the growing field of data science and technology for business growth.

Improving long-term prospects

While there are many short courses that offer a quick overview of the latest technological advancements, these short courses lack the holistic structure and qualifications that a formal postgraduate program would provide.

To be truly immersed in learning and gain hands-on experience working on real-world problems, one must dedicate time and effort to a postgraduate degree in computer science, which requires a well-structured program delivered by experienced faculty, over a substantial period of time.

The SMU MITB program is dynamic and continually updated in response to new technologies and market demands, to remain highly relevant to the industry.

Its goal is to impart to students the most relevant fundamental and advanced knowledge and the “learning to learn” mindset, where students must be agile in adopting new technologies, to discover problems and ask the right questions.

These are important, timeless skills that enable graduates to navigate and problem-solve in an ever-changing business landscape.

One of the attractive elements of the SMU MITB program is an optional internship opportunity open to full-time students.

Through the efforts of the program’s four internship supervisors, each dedicated to a specialization track to oversee students’ internships and capstone projects, students are well served by MITB’s high volume of internship opportunities.

This increases the likelihood that students will get the internships they want, and many of them turn those internships into full-time jobs.

This is an investment by the program in addition to the University’s Postgraduate Career Services Office (PGCS), which also serves SMU MITB students with internships and employment.

In the QS Masters in Business Analytics Rankings 2022, SMU MITB was ranked 12th globally for employability and 26th globally for alumni outcomes.

Its scores (out of 100) were above the global average for employability 75.9 (global average 46.7) and alumni outcomes 73.5 (global average 54.2).

As a result, SMU MITB has high graduate employability: 90% of students are hired within six months of graduation.

Practical project for concrete experience

Often conducted in collaboration with multinational companies, the SMU MITB capstone project is available on a competitive basis and has become an integral part of the programme.

The project can take many forms, but its goal remains constant: students have a unique opportunity to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems.

Students typically work individually to apply what they have learned in class and gain hands-on experience in understanding the business domain, defining problems, and even accessing information systems, documents, and resources available within the company.

For part-time students, projects can be proposed by their own companies, while for full-time students, projects can be proposed by SCIS faculty members or sponsored by an external company.

Such projects will involve complex, real-world problems that will require data and requirements collection, analysis, construction of prototype systems to achieve the desired results or a practical research outcome.

Often, tangible results can be a working prototype system or an important piece of analysis, and such results can sometimes serve as industrial breakthroughs and prepare SMU MITB graduates for the real world.

Ready for revolutionary change at every step

The SMU MITB program includes four specialization tracks in financial technology and analysis, analytics, artificial intelligence and digital transformation.

Depending on their professional interests and career goals, students can choose the path that best fits their goals.

Applicants to the program range from recent undergraduate graduates who tend to pursue Financial Technology and Analytics, Analytics, or Artificial Intelligence majors, to more experienced professionals who tend to pursue Digital Transformation majors.

Overall, the programme welcomes a good mix of students from different age groups, sectors of activity and educational backgrounds, spread across the four tracks.

Better yet, prospective students do not need to have extensive experience in business or IT, but should have a strong foundation in mathematics, an aptitude for computers, and a positive learning attitude.

However, for those interested in the digital transformation journey, a minimum of three years of professional experience in business or IT is preferred.

These candidates must have the experience to better understand business problems, ask the right questions, and identify ways in which IT can be used to transform the organization. For those interested in the Artificial Intelligence field, good programming skills are a prerequisite.

Consistently ranked among the top Master of Analytics programs in Asia in the QS Masters in Business Analytics ranking, SMU MITB is equipping a new generation of leaders for careers that bridge the gap between technology and business.

This is the program to follow to prepare for the future of your career in a digital economy, gaining an unmatched advantage in financial technology, analytics, artificial intelligence or digital transformation planning and strategy to address major challenges affecting society and industry.
