SMU-X presented its pedagogy in APAIE 2026
At the Asia-Pacific Association for International Education Conference and Exhibition 2026 (APAIE), held at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Mr Derek Chiang (left) and Mr Kevin Koh, Head of SMU-X, shared insights on how intentional curriculum design—through approaches such as mentorship, structured reflection, and iterative project development—can strengthen intercultural competence, foster student agency, and develop graduates’ professional capability in global contexts.
Held under the theme “Asia-Pacific Partnerships for the Global Good,” the conference highlighted the role of higher education institutions in forging partnerships that contribute to collective well-being. It also provided a platform for SMU to deepen collaboration in industry-linked, project-based experiential learning, advance cross-border initiatives, and cultivate new connections for future collaboration.
