NUS Computing students are the proud recipients of various prestigious scholarships, including those offered at the national level such as the National Infocomm Scholarship, and coveted University-level scholarships like the NUS Global Merit Scholarship. In addition, NUS Computing students may apply to three scholarships that are available to them only:

• Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple Computing Scholarship

Enhancement Programmes

NUS School of Computing celebrates excellence in diversity among our students, and we encourage all to acquire a well-rounded education rather than simply technical training. In line with that, we encourage our students to participate in various enhancement programmes organised at the School, University and national levels, including:

Special Programmes

Two Special Programmes are offered to students in the Computer Science programme, with the objective of nurturing students for an R&D career in Computer Science.

The Turing Programme prepares students for a research career in Computer Science, and is attractive to students who love to solve technically challenging problems with a balanced knowledge in theory and practice. Both programmes aim to produce confident and resourceful graduates who are passionate about problem solving, through exploring real-world problems under close supervision of professors, graduate students and industry mentors.

The von Neumann Programme blends academic knowledge and industry experience into Computer Science education, and is most suitable for students who love developing complex computer-based systems that will be used by millions of real-world users.

Internships

Advanced Technology Attachment Programme (ATAP) and Student Internship Programme (SIP) is a three- or six-month internship programme, which places students with established local or overseas organisations, to allow them first-hand experience in industry-related projects. This internship programme has the active support of government agencies and multinationals in sectors ranging from financial services to interactive digital media and bioinformatics research.

IDA Enhanced Learning in Infocomm Technology (ELITe) is a talent development programme that aims to develop industry-ready infocomm graduates. In partnership with the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA), the ELITe programme provides opportunities for undergraduates to acquire practical exposure through industry attachments, mentorship, projects and skills development through certifications and exposure to infocomm policy thinking.
