We are in a defining period for businesses, marked by rapid technological shifts, global economic realignment, increasing expectations for sustainability, equity and ethical leadership, and added to these, political instability. All around the world, these forces are reshaping industries, creating both complexity and opportunity. In this evolving landscape, universities have an essential role to play beyond the traditional focus on teaching and learning and research.
As a leading institution in Southeast Asia, we are proud to contribute to this transformation. We are preparing our graduates to lead with curiosity, agility, integrity, and purpose. We are investing in research that responds to regional challenges, from inclusive growth and digital transformation to climate resilience and responsible governance. Through strategic partnerships, we are translating knowledge into action and ensuring our work delivers tangible benefits for the communities we serve. Put simply, we aim not only to be a source of knowledge but also a catalyst for change.

In these pages, you’ ll find stories that speak to the strength of our academic and alumni community, the vibrancy of our student experience, and the depth of our engagement with industry, government, and society.

Progress happens only when we work together, and we welcome you to connect with us and explore how we can combine our strengths to realise a more inclusive and sustainable world.
