Concurrent Degree Programme with NUS Business School in Management

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. 

In this programme, students of School of Computing will take management courses from School of Business in addition to their usual pursuit of Bachelor of Computing degree. These management courses are drawn from Bachelor of Business (B.B.A) and M.Sc.(Mgt) curricula. Thanks to the broad-base nature of NUS curriculum structure, such double focuses may be completed within five years. The programme is particularly attractive to students pursuing Bachelor of Computing degrees in the School of Computing, as the combined curricula provide an enriching education in management of both human resources and information technology.

Following on from this concurrent programme is an European Master’s 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(Mgt) + MIM in 5.5 to 6 years. MIM requires students to spend half year in each of two top Business schools. About a quarter of MIM students end up as management consultants, many with the prominent corporate members of CEMS (The Global Alliance in Management Education). School of Business offers limted Study Awards. Detailed information about MIM can be found in https://mim.nus.edu.sg/cems-mim.
