Bachelor of Science in Business Analytics

The Bachelor of Science (Business Analytics) degree programme is an inter-disciplinary undergraduate degree programme offered by the School of Computing with participation from the Business School, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science, and Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. This is a four-year direct honours programme which offers a common two-year broad-based inter-disciplinary curriculum where all students will read modules in Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Accounting, Marketing, Decision Science, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Computer Science and Information Systems. Students in their third and fourth years of study may choose elective modules from two lists of either functional or methodological elective modules. Functional elective modules span business functions or sectors of marketing, retailing, logistics, healthcare, etc. Methodological elective modules include those related to big data techniques, statistics, text mining, data mining, social network analysis, econometrics, forecasting, operations research, etc. In sum, these elective modules span the most exciting and challenging areas of business analytics practice in the industry today.

Students under the NUS co-operative education programme will need to take BT4011 Business Analytics Capstone Industry Project rather than BT4101. Note that the BT4101 project selection process takes place one semester ahead of the semester in which the students commence BT4101. Thus the students can tentatively select BT4101 projects; but the condition “CAP of 4.00 or higher after completing at least 70% (112 MCs) of the MC requirement for the degree programme” must be satisfied before they can commence BT4101 in lieu of IS4010.

University Scholars Programme (Business Analytics)
Students in the University Scholars Programme (USP) who choose the Bachelor of Science (Business Analytics) degree programme will do so with the following variations:

They will not be required to read IS2101 Business and Technical Communication. It is replaced by USP Foundation module: Writing and Critical Thinking.
They have module exemption via directly recognising up to 8 MCs of SoC prescribed modules towards USP Inquiry cum ISM requirement.

Advanced Technology Attachment Programme

The Advanced Technology Attachment Programme (ATAP) is a premium industrial attachment programme placing the better among our students in reputable and established organisations for the benefit of both. The objective of the six-month attachment programme is to enable students to apply their computing knowledge in computing-related projects through attachments at organisations.

ATAP aims to broaden students’ education by enabling them to appreciate the application of computing knowledge to industry-related projects. Students’ progress on projects will be monitored during attachment, and their performance will be assessed at the end of the attachment, based on the interim and final project reports. Students will be given 12 MCs with Completed Satisfactory (CS) grade upon successful completion of the programme.

For more details, please refer to: https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/industry/intern/student/atap/

Industry Internship Programme

The Industry Internship Programme (IIP) enables students to apply the computing knowledge and skills that they have acquired in class to industry internships in companies/organizations. Students, work in pairs, in industry internships will be jointly guided by supervisors from both the companies/organizations and the school. Their progress on internship projects will be monitored during internship period, and their performance will be assessed through letter grades at the end of the internship. The internship duration will be 6 months, consisting of both a full-time and part-time component. Full-time internship attachment will last for 3 months during the NUS vacation period, and will continue on a part-time basis that will last for 3 months during the NUS study semester. Students will be given 12 MCs upon successful completion of the programme.

More details can be found at: https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/industry/intern/student/iip/

Student Internship Programme

This internship programme is similar to ATAP in objective and quality, but unfolds in three rather than six months. It places students in established organisations, both local and overseas, so that they may work on industry related projects from government agencies and multinationals in sectors ranging from financial services to interactive digital media and bioinformatics research during their special terms which span from May to July annually. Students will receive 6 credits with Completed Satisfactory (CS) grade under CP3200 on successful completion of the internship.
