Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP) |
| UROP provides a unique opportunity for bright undergraduates to undertake research work under the supervision of experienced researchers. Through this apprenticeship in research, students learn to formulate questions, to evaluate claims and to do in-depth study in a topic in order to solve a problem whose solution is not previously known. In addition to achieving competence, many students find research so exhilarating that they continue on to doing postgraduate studies and research as a career. In the School of Computing, UROP is a year long project, spread over two semesters, allowing ample opportunities to learn and do research in a substantial project. Students work closely with faculty members and their research groups in a wide range of computing research areas, often making valuable contributions to the groups' research. UROP is usually done in third year, allowing the students to earn two courses worth of credits. Furthermore, students can choose to do research on the same topic for their Honours Year Project, allowing substantial depth in research within their undergraduate education.  Internal Access |

| Module Preference Exercise (MPE) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Module Preference Exercise (MPE) aims to determine the demand by SoC students for SoC and important non-SoC modules offered in the following semester before the execution of CORS. Early knowledge about module demands provides the UG Office precious time to negotiate with various departments and faculties for class sizes; it also provides students a clearer perspective of various module demands in the following semester. MPE works by requesting students to declare their preference for module selection in the following semester. With this information, the UG Office works with departments and faculties to adjust the class quota for each module offered to meet the demands if possible, and inform students of the expected class quota for each module offered. MPE also enables UG Office work out the module requirements of graduating students, so as to smoothen their path towards graduation. In some cases, MPE enables UG Office pre-allocation of modules so as to allay anxiety among students during module bidding at CORS. MPE briefing will be held on: Date : 31 March 2010 Venue: Seminar Room 1 (COM1, 2-06) Time : 5.00 pm to 6.00 pm |

Online Tutorial Registration
Click here for Tutorial Sign-Up. Please refer to the Main Page for timing details.
You can register via the Internet from anywhere in the world.
To register your modules, you would need:
- NUSNET ID
- NUSNET Password
Check out the latest dates and timing here.
What is Tutorial Sign-Up (Swapping /
Request / Change System)?
Tutorial Swapping is available for you to swap your tutorials, recitations or
laboratories slots.
You can also apply to your lecturer about joining a particular classes, subject
to approval (only when swapping is not possible).
How do I swap my group?
Suppose you are allocated CS1000 Tutorial Group 09, and decided later
to swap to Groups 01/02/03 (same timing) or Groups 04/05/06 (same timing),
then you just indicate your intention on the Tutorial
Swapping/Change/Request
System. There is no need for you to find a partner to swap with (unlike the
previous semester). The swap will be effected if a match is found in the
system (someone with Group 01/02/03/04/05/06 who wants to go to Group 09).
Otherwise, you will queue up in the system, and the swap effected when a
matching request is found at a later time.
An email will be sent to your NUSNET account if a matching request is found and the swap request effected.
What kind of time slots can
I swap?
You can swap any time
slots as long as they are of the same kind, i.e. tutorials with tutorials, labs
with labs, and recitations with recitations.
Can I request directly
to the lecturer to join certain groups?
This should only
be used as a last resort, when swap request is not possible. Again, you
choose a set of groups that you intend to join (please make sure that there
is no timetable clash). You need to state the reasons for making the
request. Note that the lecturer can either approve or reject your request.
So you are advised not to use this request to bypass the tutorial
bidding/balloting process.
When can I use the
swapping and request feature?
The swapping facility
will be available after the first balloting. As for the request feature, it
will only be available near the end of tutorial registration.

Mentorship Scheme
Dear Freshmen, The School of Computing has introduced a mentorship scheme with the aim to provide guidance to its students throughout the course of study in NUS. Under this scheme, every student is assigned a mentor, who must be an academic staff with teaching responsibility. Through this scheme,
Each student will be assigned a mentor when he is matriculated to NUS. The assignment of mentors will be based on students' indication of their preferred programmes of study. They are requested to meet up with their mentors within the first two weeks of the first semester. A mentee will be under the care of a mentor throughout his/her years of study. Changes of mentor-mentee assignment will happen when:
Both mentors and mentees are encouraged to meet at least once a semester. Below please find the mentorship list by year of admission: Computing: Mentorship list 2009 Computer Engineering: Mentorship list 2009 Mentorship list 2008 ( MySoC->Academic ->Mentoring List) Please identify the mentor assigned to you from the list above and send him/her an email to request for an appointment with him/her. Usually, you can know more about your mentor by browsing his/her webpage, which can be found through the following URL template:http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~<userid>. For example, my userid is khoosc{@}comp.nus.edu.sg, and so my webpage is http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~khoosc. You may also wish to participate in discussion about mentorship, or to help build up a list of FAQ about mentorship. To do that, please go to the following website: https://mysoc.nus.edu.sg/~wiki/index.php/FAQ_for_Freshmen_and_Their_Mentors All the best to your study here. Siau Cheng |

Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP) |
| UROP provides a unique opportunity for bright undergraduates to undertake research work under the supervision of experienced researchers. Through this apprenticeship in research, students learn to formulate questions, to evaluate claims and to do in-depth study in a topic in order to solve a problem whose solution is not previously known. In addition to achieving competence, many students find research so exhilarating that they continue on to doing postgraduate studies and research as a career. In the School of Computing, UROP is a year long project, spread over two semesters, allowing ample opportunities to learn and do research in a substantial project. Students work closely with faculty members and their research groups in a wide range of computing research areas, often making valuable contributions to the groups' research. UROP is usually done in third year, allowing the students to earn two courses worth of credits. Furthermore, students can choose to do research on the same topic for their Honours Year Project, allowing substantial depth in research within their undergraduate education. |

Designed by Alan Turing as a model for human thinking, computers has the potential to do all that humans know how to do. Just as mechanical systems enhance human strength, computing systems enhance human thinking, enabling people to do many things that are previously impossible. Computers have been rapidly changing the world; we now have planet-scale systems such as the World Wide Web, instant access to almost all recorded information, systems that discover knowledge in large corporate databases, embedded computers that monitor and control all types of systems ranging from cars to the environment, and computers that do weather prediction, astronomy, biology and other amazing things. |

Turing Programme (TP) for BComp (CS) |
|||||
Preparing students for a research career in Computer Science This programme is named after Alan M. Turing to commemorate this outstanding pioneer of computer science. Alan M. Turing is an excellent role model for students of the Turing Programme, inspiring them to pursue fundamental work, to take bold new direction, and to make concrete contributions to the world. This special programme therefore aims to nurture students who aspire to engage in a pure research career in computing. The Turing Programme is most suitable for students who love to solve technically challenging problems and are able to handle both theoretical and practical work. Students will be selected for admission into TP at the end of their first or second semester of study based on their CAP and interview. Students in TP are expected to build a sufficient track record by the time they graduate to gain admission into the Ph.D. programmes in top schools including SoC. So, students admitted into TP will be assigned CS professors as their mentors to help them to build their track records. They must maintain a minimum CAP of 4.0 throughout their study. TP has the same curriculum structure as the revised BComp(CS) programme, but emphasizes research in Computer Science. Some of the modules specially tailored for TP students are :

von Neumann Programme (vNP) for BComp (CS) |
||||
Blending academic knowledge and industry experience into Computer Science education
The von Neumann Programme is named after John von Neumann to commemorate this scintillating intellect of computer science. John von Neumann is an excellent role model for students of the von Neumann Programme, inspiring them to pursue difficult large-scale problems, to enjoy translating theory to practice, and working in large team to make contributions to the world. This special programme thus aims to nurture students who aspire to engage in an industry career emphasising design of complex computing systems. The von Neumann Programme is most suitable for students who love to solve complex real-world problems and develop complex computer-based systems for real-world applications. Students will be selected for admission into vNP at the end of their first or second semester of study based on their CAP and interview. Students admitted into vNP will be assigned CS professors and industry partners as their mentors, who will help them to blend academic knowledge and industrial experience into their studies. They must maintain a minimum CAP of 4.0 in every semester of their study. vNP has similar curriculum structure as the revised BComp(CS) programme, but emphasizes design and development of complex computing systems. A complex computing system is a class of computing systems that have complex hardware and/or software architectures. Typically it is composed of an integrated collection of computing components that together solve complex problems. Examples of complex computing systems include parallel and distributed systems, systems comprising heterogeneous database systems connected by networks, grid computing and cloud computing systems, etc. Due to the complexity of such systems, their design and development require strong technical knowledge of the systems and their components, as well as knowledge and skills of the design and development methodologies, so that correct choices can be made in the design and development process. |
|
|||
Students in vNP will complete modules in selected vNP Focus Areas, namely Computer Networks, Database Systems, Parallel Computing, Programming Languages, Software Engineering, and Systems Security that cover technical details of each area. They will also take · CS3210 Parallel Computing · CS3249 Elements of User Interface Design · CS3213 Software Systems Design · Computer systems team project: Students will take CS3281 & CS3282 Thematic Systems Project I & II under the co-supervision of CS professors and industrial partners to provide them with real-world experience in complex systems design and development. · CP4101 BComp Dissertation, focusing on complex systems design and development. In addition, vNP students are encouraged to read the following modules to strengthen their industry links. · CP3201 Industry Seminar, · CP3200 Internship, · CS3882 Breakthrough Ideas in Digital Markets · CS4880 Digital Entrepreneurship Students are also encouraged to take quality certification courses such as SAP, Java, Oracle database, DB2 database, CCNA, and CITPM to better prepare them for applied R&D in the industry. CS Department is also working with prestigious overseas universities to include a concurrent overseas Masters part to vNP, which includes overseas applied R&D attachment.

Minor Programmes
A Minor programme is a coherent course of study providing significant depth in a certain area outside that of the Major, within or outside the student's department.The modular credit (MC) requirement for a Minor programme should be at least 24MCs, of which up to 8MCs may be used to meet the requirements for both the Minor and a Major or another Minor subject to the agreement of the particular department(s), faculty/faculties or programme(s) hosting the Minor.
In the case of a Minor programme co-hosted by two departments, at least 12 MCs must be from outside the student's Major department and in the case of a Minor programme hosted by one department, at least 16 MCs must be from outside the student's Major department.
The MCs under the Breadth and Unrestricted Elective module requirements can be used to satisfy the Minor programme requirements.
GEMs may not be used to satisfy the Minor requirements1 except where the GEM module(s) is/are within the list of module(s) approved for the Minor. Under the GEMs policy, GEMs may not be used to satisfy the Minor requirements. Students have to register for the module cross-listed under its normal department code to satisfy the Minor requirement.
Modules counted towards fulfillment of the Minor requirements must be letter graded. A module taken on Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis cannot be used to satisfy the Minor requirements.
Ungraded modules:
(a) In normal cases, a minor can accept up to 8 MCs of ungraded substitutable modules;
(b) In the case of "area studies" minors, up to 16 MCs of ungraded substitutable modules can be accepted provided these modules are read at an NUS partner university in the region under study, and a minimum standard of performance is achieved before credit transfer can be effected.
(c) In the case of the NUS Overseas Colleges (NOC) Technopreneurship minor, up to 16 MCs of ungraded substitutable modules read at NUS partner universities listed under the NOC can be accepted subject to the specified minimum standard of performance being achieved before credit transfer can be effected.
The Minor programme(s) will be reflected in the student's transcript.

| Double Degree Programmes in Computer Science & Mathematics/Applied Mathematics
Jointly offered by: School of Computing & Faculty of Science |
||||||
1. Introduction
Computer
Science and Mathematics share a synergistic
relationship in many ways – the foundation of
computer science have its roots in mathematics,
starting from the notion of computation (the
Turing machine); discrete mathematics is an
indispensable tool in understanding structures and
systems in computer science. On the other hand,
inventions and advances in computer science have
generated new frontiers for research in
mathematics. As a result, many fundamental areas
in Computer Science such as computability and
computational complexity are very much part of
Mathematics and vice versa. The Double Degree
Programmes in Computer Science and
Mathematics/Applied Mathematics celebrate and
leverage the synergistic relationship between the
two disciplines.

| Double Major Programmes offered by other Faculties | |||||||
|
|||||||
| Introduction
An NUS
Double Major is a single degree programme, in
which a student satisfies the requirements of two
majors. The second major is not to be taken to the
same level of intensity as the primary major, and
it may be taken in the same Faculty/School or from
a different Faculty/School. Double Majors offer
students the opportunity to broaden their
knowledge and capacities with significant depth
through the pursuit of a second major alongside
the primary major. The second major will be a
non-Honours major. A second major will consist of at least 48 MCs of modules of which: The requirements of a Double Major are as follows: (A) University Level Requirements Students need to satisfy one set of Singapore Studies (SS) and General Education (GE) requirements only. The prevailing rules relating to satisfying GE requirements in the different subject groups apply. Students will be required to take breadth modules, but modules in the second major from outside the Faculty/School of the primary major can be counted towards these requirements. (B) Faculty Requirements Students need to fulfill the faculty requirements of the primary major. (C) Major Requirements Students are required to completely fulfill all the requirements of the primary major and the second major. Up to eight MCs of the modules in the second major can be used to double count towards either the Faculty, Primary Major or Minor requirements. Students may not need to take Unrestricted Elective (UE) Modules if the ULR and two majors add up to 160MCs or more. USP students must satisfy the prevailing USP requirements. Advanced Modules can only be drawn from the primary major. The prevailing rules/policy concerning S/U modules will apply for Double Major students. (D) Computation of Cumulative Average Points (CAP) Since students will graduate with only one degree under Double Major Programmes, there will be a common CAP for both majors. (E) Minimum MC Requirements for Double Majors The minimum MC requirements for Double Majors are as follows:
If the above minimum requirements are achieved, it would be possible to complete a Double Major with Honours in one subject within four years. The actual total MCs will depend on the requirements of the second major. (F) Residency Requirement The residency requirement is 50% of the minimum required MCs for the Double Major programme or 80 MCs, whichever is the higher. (G) Maximum Period of Candidature The maximum period of candidature for a Double Major is the same as that for a single major under the same degree. (H) Awards A Double Major
student will only be eligible for award of medals
and prizes associated with the primary major
unless the medal/prize is to be awarded for best
performance in a module. The second major will
only be mentioned in the transcript and not on the
degree scroll.

| Concurrent Bachelor of Computing (Honours)(Information Systems) and Master of Science (Management) Programme - Direct Admissions | |
|
|
IT professionals need to rise up to the
challenges of managing new IT and market trends such as
IT outsourcing and offshoring, IT entrepreneurships, and
commercialisations and management of innovative and
complex IT products and services. The concurrent
programme combining Bachelor of Computing (School of
Computing) and Masters of Management (School of
Business) provides a multi-disciplinary platform for
students to marry strong technical computing skills with
the requisite management, communications, and marketing
skills to respond effectively to these challenges. Following on from this concurrent programme is an European Master in International Management (MIM ), which are eligible to students after completing this concurrent programme. Through this route, students can therefore get three degrees: Bachelor + MSc + MIM in 5.5 to 6 years. MIM requires students to spend half year in each of two top European management schools. About a quarter of MIM students end up as management consultants, many with the prominent corporate members of CEMS (Community of European Management Schools). School of Business is offering a number of scholarships for students to go to Europe . Detailed information about MIM can be found in http://bba.nus.edu/cems.htm . Direct admission Local applicants with A-level certificate or its equivalent can apply for direct admission to this programme when they submit their undergraduate admission applications to NUS via http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/. Applicants must select the ‘Computing (Information Systems Courses)' course before they can view this Concurrent Programme among the available choices. They will be chosen on the basis of their A-level grades (or equivalent), their interest profile in information systems studies, and a personal interview designed to judge their potential and suitability for the programme. In-Progress Admission Applicants who are not eligible for direct admission are welcome to apply for admission to this programme after they have been admitted to the `Computing (Information Systems Courses)’ course. Existing undergraduate students can also apply for admission to this programme. Details on application procedure for the concurrent MSc(Mgt) programme can be found at: Degree Structure The structure for the concurrent MSc(Mgt) programme
is as follows: A student must complete the following 10 modules, or 40 MCs, chosen from modules currently offered in the Minor in Business programme:
