The SMU Office of Postgraduate Professional Programmes (OPGPP) was established in 2011 to support the growth of SMU Masters programmes and its students. Under the leadership of its founding Dean, Professor Philip Charles Zerrillo, OPGPP started with a focus on international marketing but have since taken a larger role of student development and academic coordination. OPGPP works closely with all SMU Masters programmes on matters such as orientation and onboarding, student handbook and academic regulations, running the Professional Development Series workshops and student life activities during term break.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between aspiration and achievement. We utilize our unique SENSE platform and expert mentorship to provide personalized, data-driven strategies that unlock top-tier university opportunities for our students.
