SUTD’s Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS) cluster and Shanghai Jiao Tong University–Asia Pacific Graduate Institute (SJTU-APGI) have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance interdisciplinary education.

Key highlights of the partnership:

• Joint Teaching: Collaborative projects and guest lectures by SJTU faculty.
• Student Mobility: New student exchange and short-term immersion programmes.
• Career Pathways: Enhanced internship and talent development opportunities.
• DAI 2.0 Integration: Direct synergy with our upcoming Design and Artificial Intelligence (DAI 2.0) degree programme.
