Students of the MQF programme are required to complete twelve core modules and three electives within 12 months on a full-time basis. Part-time students will complete the same curriculum within 24 months.

Exemption is granted on a case-by-case basis. Applicants with former training in certain core modules may be granted exemption of up to one module in Term 1. There will be no exemption for the courses conducted at Cass Business School.

The tuition fees will not be waived for the exempted modules.

You have to submit the details of the courses five weeks before Term 1 begins. These include:

• Learning outcome statements, course objectives, course overview and assessment method.
• The university that you attended, your grade and the year you took the course.

Students are expected to attend all the classes scheduled for each of the core and elective courses. The pace is rapid, and sessions follow a building-block approach, with each lecture building on the material covered earlier.

Students will need to set aside a considerable amount of time for preparation, reading, project work, private study, completion of assignments, and revision for final examinations.

The pace at which individuals work will obviously vary, but as a rough rule of thumb, students will need to put in two to three hours of work outside of the classroom for every hour actually spent in the formal sessions.

Due to the high intensity and demanding nature of the curriculum, students are encouraged to devote their full attention to their coursework. However, students with good academic performance may be allowed to pursue part-time internships if opportunities arise. Do note that international students with a student visa are only allowed to work for 16 hours a week during academic terms.

You may withdraw from the programme upon approval from the Programme Director. However, if you withdraw from the programme two weeks or more after the commencement of a term, you are liable for the full payment of fees for the entire term. Request for partial payment will not be considered.

Students who wish to request for leave of absence have to write in to the Programme Director with valid reasons.

As the programme is only offered on a yearly basis, the minimum leave of absence is one year. The candidature lapses automatically if you do not return the following year.

You will have to write in to seek permission from the Programme Director.

The programme is taught by well-qualified and experienced SMU and Cass Business School professors as well as industry professionals.

SMU has a 4-point grading system. If computations result in the cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) exceeding the 4-point grading system, a round down approach will be adopted. The highest cumulative GPA attainable by a student is 4.0.

All students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 and above in order to graduate from the programme. If a student does not meet the GPA requirement in any particular term, he or she will be issued a warning letter. Those with a GPA below 2.5 for two consecutive terms will be asked to leave the programme.

A student may, upon the recommendation of the Course Instructor and approval of the Programme Director, re-sit a written assessment component of a course in which an overall fail grade was registered.

The re-sit, being a replacement assessment, must be of the same format, scope, and rigour as that of the original assessment. For each course, only one re-sit examination or written assessment will be arranged per term. Requests for alternative re-sit arrangements will not be entertained.

A student who passes a course on re-sit will receive an overall grade of "D", which will override the original fail grade.

In the event a student fails a re-sit, he/she must retake the course or take an alternative elective (subject to compliance of the academic standing policy). No further appeals will be considered.

SMU will assist in the application of student passes for all international students studying full-time in SMU. For students enrolling in the International Track, SMU will also assist with visa applications for their term in Cass Business School in London.

SMU will assist you with the application of your student visa, latest by end May, before you arrive in Singapore. All applicants will have to log in to ICA's website to fill up the Student's Pass Application Form (eform 16) and submit it online.

You will have to submit an online Student's Pass Application Form (eform 16), which requires the particulars of a valid passport.

The processing fee is S$30 (inclusive of GST); upon approval by ICA, you will have to pay a S$60 (inclusive of GST) issuance fee for the student pass, and S$30 (inclusive of GST) for a multiple-entry visa.

No, you cannot extend your student pass after you have graduated. However, you have the option of converting it to a Long Term Visitor Pass (LTVP) which will allow you to remain in Singapore for up to one year.

Generally, all students will get their student visa. However, in the unforeseen event that this happens, we will look into it on a case-by-case basis.

Yes, the medical examination can either be done in your home country or in Singapore by a qualified doctor. However, medical examinations required for subsequent renewal of the Student's Pass must be done in Singapore. The doctor must record and certify the results of your medical examination in the designated medical report form. The medical report should not be issued more than three months from the submission or renewal date of your application; it should also be translated into English. If you have submitted a medical report to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority or Ministry of Manpower not more than two years ago, there is no need to re-submit a fresh medical report.
