Sigh...

Dosen't cover in depth views? You're kidding me right? I am a soon to be
smu student that have tried attending several of their lectures for a better pic before enrolment and i have several friends in
smu. All of them feedbacked that their lessons are on average more than rigorous than
ntu or
NUS counterparts.
Before lessons start, they have ro go to various sources outside textbooks and search for case studies to voice out their findings in the class which is moderated and/or corrected by a professor which merely guides them along.
And one of them is in the quantitative finance/major track-one of the major that is hardest to get in/maintain for biz specialization in
smu.
General knowledge are not taught in biz specific courses/modules.. they are just part and parcel of e modules we hace 2 take under general studies, and some of them even though not directly related w biz management can complement ur knowledge of e major u are taking.
Also, you mentioned MIT, I believe that is the Massechusetts Institute of technology which is a um... idk ? A school more geared towards engineering and technology? And it is one of the top unis in the world?
Ntu and
Nus graduates have a slim chance of getting into that uni even with their qualifications..
And besises, the universities with the best business graduate programes in the world are mainly wharton, havard and stanford.
These should be the schools u should consider for postgraduate studies if you want to apply finance knowledge to a biz settings.
Besides in e first place, if u do not have a passion of biz management in general or have a fondness for its culture why choose
smu in the first place?
You should have taken up a degree with a mathematical track in
NUS instead which also gives you some background or headstart in finance..
Your questions leas me to ponder if u r really an
smu student Lol
