Minors offered by NUS Computing
A Minor programme is a coherent course of study in an additional area outside of the Major. By doing this, it contributes to the breadth of learning envisaged for undergraduate education.
Minimum Units Required for Minors:
For students admitted from AY2019 onwards:
For students admitted from AY2019/20 onwards, the total unit requirement for a Minor programme is 20 units, of which:
(a) Up to 8 units (40% of the total requirements for Minor) may be used to meet the requirements for both the Minor and a Major/Second Major, or another Minor.
(b) At least 12 units for any Minor programme must be taken from outside the entire set of courses that are listed for the major(s)/another minor that the student is taking/ has taken.
(c) At least 80% of the unit requirements of a minor must be at level 1000 to 4000.
(d) A minimum of 60% of the total units of the Minor requirements must be earned from courses read in NUS. Courses read at NUS include all courses taught, co-taught, supervised or co-supervised by NUS faculty members. These consist of graded courses or courses with an ‘S’ or ‘CS’ grade. The remaining units may be earned through credit transfers, advanced placement and exemptions, from courses deemed relevant to the particular Second Major or Minor.
