School of Computing and Information Systems

 

SCIS students can add breadth to their learning by augmenting their computing education with knowledge from other disciplines.

SMU SCIS students can choose to graduate with either a double degree or a second major which makes them more attractive to employers and provides more versatility in their career choices.

DOUBLE DEGREES

SMU SCIS students can choose to graduate with a double degree by combining their discipline with either Accountancy, Business Management, Computer Science1, Computing & Law, Economics, Information Systems1, Law2 or Social Sciences or Software Engineering1 disciplines.

Upon successful completion, students receive two degree certificates.

  • Prospective students with outstanding academic results may apply for direct entry to the double degree programme.

  • Current students currently enrolled in a single degree programme and who display exceptional results in their first or second year, can also opt for the double degree programme.

If successful in their application for a second degree, students can take courses from both the programmes they are enrolled in concurrently. They need not take the required courses in any pre-set order, provided the pre-requisite for a specific course has been satisfied, and they can complete the double degree programme in a minimum of 4 years.

SMU SCIS students may also elect for a second major with or without track to augment their knowledge from the many second major options offered by the SMU schools:
