NUS - National University of Singapore

The four-year IS programme provides a stimulating education that equips students with the ability to integrate infocomm technology fundamentals with domain expertise to develop innovative solutions for organisations. Through projects and case studies that are aligned with industry best practices, students will develop an in-depth understanding of the strategic exploitation of infocomm technology in emerging organisational forms. Students become proficient in the design and development of infocomm solutions and the management of infocomm projects. Such skills are vital in helping students develop careers that are being emphasised in the iN2015 plan, such as techno-strategist, solution architect, and infocomm project manager.

Students who want to pursue careers that have a service orientation to develop an in-depth understanding in service innovations and service systems creation, operation and delivery can pursue a Specialisation in Services Science, Management and Engineering (SSME). The other specialisation of interest is Information Security, which will enable students to pursue careers that are related to the prevention, detection and management of security threats.

University Scholars Programme (Information Systems)

Students in the University Scholars Programme who choose the Bachelor of Computing (Information Systems) major will take the IS programme, but with the following variations:

They will not be required to read University Level Requirements (20 MCs). These are replaced by the 3 USP Inquiry Modules and 2 USP Foundation modules (Quantitative Reasoning Foundation and University Scholars Seminar).
They will not be required to read IS2101 Business and Technical Communication. It is replaced by USP Foundational module: Writing and Critical Thinking.
They will have 8 (instead of 20) MCs under Unrestricted Electives.
They will read UROP modules( CP3208 and CP3209) in place of the IS team project module (IS3102). CP3208 and CP3209 are independent study modules (ISMs) which will be counted as 2 USP Inquiry modules in Sciences and Technologies Basket.
They will be required to take 24 MCs (6 modules) from the Programme Electives. Among these modular credits, at least 12 MCs (3 modules) must be at level-4000.
