Director's Message

Welcome to SSDM!

We are delighted that you are considering a future shaped by sustainability.

Today, technology is advancing at an astonishing pace. Many cities are thriving, living standards are rising, and people enjoy conveniences and comforts that were once unimaginable. Yet, alongside this progress, we continue to face serious social inequalities, environmental crises, and complex challenges that cut across both society and nature.

We are standing at a crossroads.

The Bachelor’s Program in Smart Sustainable Development and Management (SSDM) is designed to help you understand and respond to these global challenges — from climate change to sustainable business, from urban planning to a wide range of social issues. Our interdisciplinary, all-English curriculum encourages you to think across fields, learn through real-world practice, and approach problems with creativity and care.

Our hope is to inspire every one of you to become a thoughtful, responsible, and globally minded leader who can bring meaningful change to society.

Thank you for considering joining SSDM. We are a supportive and welcoming community, and we look forward to growing together with you.

Peace,
Josef Ma 馬國勳, PhD
