About the SMU MITB programme

The MITB programme was first started in 2007 with a specialisation track in Financial Services Technology & Operations. Since August 2018, the MITB programme offers three specialisation tracks: Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Financial Technology & Analytics.

The Analytics track (AT) launched in January 2011 was the first in Asia, and it remains a leading programme in analytics training due to its wide and deep coverage in different topics, ranging from customer to operations, text analytics to big data, and solving problems from a myriad of business domains. The track develops a new breed of IT professionals with the skills and in-depth knowledge for industries ranging from retail, healthcare, logistics and government, to telecommunications, transport and banking. The programme’s new track in Artificial Intelligence (AI) goes even further, training students who are able to build AI tools and implement algorithms to solve business problems. The recent growth of interest in Financial Technology (FinTech) and Analytics reaffirms the School’s belief that the Financial Technology & Analytics (FTA) track will train talents to bring the banking industry to new heights.

SIS constantly reviews the MITB programme in response to new technologies and market demands so as to remain highly relevant to industry. MITB graduates are highly sought after by organisations across industries. Students who completed the programme have seen significant career advancement upon graduation.
