In the spirit of international collaboration and academic excellence, Singapore Management University (SMU) recently hosted the signing ceremony to forge a strategic partnership with Indonesia's prestigious Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) to launch the SMU Master of IT in Business (MITB) and ITB Master’s Programme in Informatics, Double Masters degree.
The SMU-ITB Double Masters programme provides students with the opportunity to earn two master degrees from both institutions. The double degree programme will unfold in three stages across both SMU in Singapore and ITB in Indonesia, promising a rich and diverse academic experience for the students involved.
Students will embark on their first year of the Master’s Programme in Informatics at Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). Here, they have the flexibility to read mapped ITB-MITB courses for credit exemptions* at the SMU MITB programme.
Students will transition to Singapore to undertake the remaining Course Units from the MITB programme, along with all other degree requirements at SMU.
The final stage takes students back to ITB, where they conclude their ITB programme, putting the finishing touches on their dual academic journey.
The partnership will remain in force until 30 September 2026. The SMU-ITB Double Masters programme is poised to produce graduates with a unique blend of ASEAN perspectives and specialised knowledge in information and communications technology (ICT) applications.
