VSP is a fee-paying programme with a study period of one or two academic terms, each lasting 16 weeks (inclusive of one week of recess). The programme is open to undergraduate students from any university. Students under VSP can take on a wide range of courses across various disciplines, including business, accountancy, economics, social sciences, law, computer science, and interdisciplinary studies. Tuition fees, cost of living, and other pertinent information can be found in the programme factsheet (link can be found in the ‘Important Information’ section below).

Nominations for the Visting Student Programme (VSP) for Fall 2025 (Aug – Dec) are now open and students can apply directly through the application portal or be nominated by your university. If you wish to nominate them through your university, the nomination and application details are below. We would be happy to arrange a call to discuss this opportunity further.

2) Students are allowed to read 2 to 4 courses during their term at SMU. If your students need to take 5 courses, please indicate this special request on the nomination form.

3) Kindly avoid nominating students in their final term for exchange at SMU to prevent any risk to their graduation if they cannot enrol in or pass required courses.

4) If you have sent us your nominations earlier, we seek your kind assistance to re-submit the list using the attached form. A “NIL” reply is appreciated if you are not nominating students to us in the upcoming term.

Please feel free to let us know if you need a deadline extension.

2) Upload all the necessary documents into the application portal (including a passport the photo identification page of a valid passport with a validity period of no less than six months from the end-date of the study term – i.e., for 7 June 2026 for 1-term and 3 November 2027 for 1-year).

3) Be flexible with their study plan and get more courses approved for credit mapping purposes.

Application deadline: 25 April 2025

Please encourage your students to submit their online application as soon as possible – and before the deadline. Letters of Acceptance (LoA) will be sent to the students electronically around mid-May.

2) As course enrolment at SMU is done through a live bidding system, offline enrolment is generally not permitted to maintain the integrity and fairness of the system. To give students more flexibility during the bidding process, we kindly request that the home university approves at least 16 courses in advance.

3) A digital transcript will be sent to the student’s SMU campus email within three months after the release of the final examination results (mid-March for Fall Term and mid-July for Spring Term). Please note that no hardcopy of the transcript will be issued. SMU is unable to accommodate requests for early release of the official digital transcript, including for graduation or higher education plans. Additionally, due to the security features of the OpenCerts transcript, we are unable to send the transcript to any third parties, including the student’s home university.
