Introduction
The Double Degree Programmes in Computer Science
/Information Systems and Business Administration/Business Administration
(Accountancy) are jointly offered by NUS School of Computing and NUS
Business School. It aims to leverage the advantage of NUS being a
comprehensive university, allowing students to fully develop their
potential through multidisciplinary programmes.
Business Administration and Computer
Science/Information Systems are complementary areas of knowledge which
are becoming inextricably interwoven. Our various communications with
the IT industry have revealed a strong demand among employers for
graduates with good computer science or information systems knowledge
and in-depth understanding of business domains.
• The Double Degree programme in
Computer Science and Business Administration (including Accountancy)
meets such a demand through its design that emphasises on developing
both the core computing skills and business skills of students. It
enables students to apply computational considerations to all aspects of
business practice, thereby complementing their business skills and
introducing a new analytic dimension to the understanding of
organisational behaviour, finance & accounting, marketing, economics,
and business law, among others.
• The Double Degree programme in
Information Systems and Business Administration (including Accountancy)
meets a similar demand. It enables students to practise the management
and implementation of information systems, enhanced with complementing
business skills and knowledge in areas such as organisational behaviour,
finance & accounting, marketing, operations management, economics, and
business law, among others.
Both combinations of business and
computing/information systems programmes will develop business-savvy IT
professionals as well as technology-minded business leaders for the
economy.
