Concurrent Degree Programmes

Concurrent degree programmes in Bachelor of Computing (Computer Science/Computational Biology) Honours and Scientiae Magister allow high-performing students to obtain the Bachelor of Computing in either Computer Science or Computational Biology Degree from NUS and a Scientiae Magister from Brown University within five years. The Computer Science Scientiae Magister programme complements the undergraduate degree with its advance courses, and an educational experience in a top US institution. Brown University has an excellent reputation for innovative education and research with tight integration of theory and practice. The Computational Biology Scientiae Magister programme provides advanced training in computational biology, which students can later utilize in the field biotechnology. Some of the skills learned span therapeutics, diagnostics, translational medicine, and fundamental research.

Concurrent degree programmes in Bachelor of Computing (Information Systems) Honours with Master of Science (Management) address the challenges of managing new computing and market trends, such as IT outsourcing and offshoring, IT entrepreneurship, and commercialisation and management of innovative and complex IT products and services. This concurrent degree programmes provide a multidisciplinary platform that combine technical computing skills with the requisite management, communications, and marketing skills to respond effectively to these challenges.

Concurrent degree programmes in Bachelor of Computing (Electronic Commerce) with Master of Science in Engineering and Technology Innovation Management are fast-track four-and-a-half year integrated programmes, combining the undergraduate degree with a Master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon University. The Master’s degree aims to equip students with innovation leadership and strategic management of technology skills.

Concurrent degree programmes in Bachelor of Computing (Information Systems) Honours with Master of Philosophy in Management are fast-track four-and-a-half year integrated programmes, combining the undergraduate degree with a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree in Management from Cambridge University. Students will obtain a global education within three years at NUS and one year at Cambridge University. The MPhil in Management is offered by the Judge Business School, Cambridge University, UK. It is a taught Master’s programme which offers new and recent non-business/management graduates a thorough grounding in management.

Concurrent degree programmes in Bachelor of Computing Honours with Master of Science in Logistics and Supply Chain Management are accelerated Concurrent Double Master Programme (CDMP), designed for high-performing undergraduates who are currently pursuing BSc, BComp, BBA, BEng and want to establish careers in the Logistics and Supply Chain Management (SCM) sector. Offered in collaboration with Georgia Institute of Technology, the programme is tailored to groom high-performing candidates early for their strategic and management roles in their respective organisations. CDMP is supported by Singapore’s Economic Development Board (EDB) and many key industry partners, with attractive scholarships and job placements available to outstanding students.

Double Degree Programmes

Double degree programme in Bachelor of Computing (Computer Science/Information Systems) and Bachelor of Accountancy/Bachelor of Business Administration emphasises the development of core computing skills and business skills. Students acquire the knowledge to apply computational considerations to all aspects of business practice, introducing a new analytic dimension to the understanding of organisational behaviour, finance and accounting, marketing, economics, business law. Students will also learn about the management and implementation of information systems.

Double degree programme in Bachelor of Computing (Computer Science) and Bachelor of Science (Mathematics/Applied Mathematics) is designed for A-level qualifications holders with good results or special talents in mathematics or computing. The programme will groom students into graduates with the knowledge to handle multifaceted computational problems in the industry such as complex scheduling, or taking interactive digital media to the next level. Admission to this programme is highly selective, and students must maintain consistently good results to remain in the programme. Students can choose to specialise in either algorithms and computation, or multimedia modelling.

NUS-French Double Degree programmes leverage the French tradition of scientific achievement. . Elitist and prestigious in nature, the Grandes Écoles of France are institutions of higher education offering the best in French Engineering and Science outside mainstream public universities. These programmes with French Grandes Écoles allow students exposure to foreign cultures, the chance to network with Singaporeans and foreigners, and to acquire proficiency in a third language. Participating Grande Écoles include:

• École Centrale Paris (ECP)
• École Polytechnique (X)
• École Supérieure d’Electricite (Supélec)
• École des Mines de Paris (Mines ParisTech)
• École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications (Telecom ParisTech)
• École Nationale Supérieure de Techniques Avancées (ENSTA ParisTech)
