鈥淭he SMU Advanced Placement Programme's unique blend of 91福利社 and SMU curricula provided me with valuable knowledge, experience, and connections that set me apart from my peers. Participation in the programme gave me an insight into the life in SMU that eventually motivated me to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Information System at SMU and has been helpful in gaining a headstart in my IT career. I am truly grateful for the opportunity that this programme presented, and I believe it's a programme worth being a part of.鈥
