At the Singapore Management University (SMU), total enrolment across its four significant computing-related degree programmes – Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, and Computing & Law – rose from 1,999 students in 2021 to 2,518 in 2025, an increase of about 26%.
Over the same period, enrolment in its Computer Science programme alone rose from 246 to 569 students. The programme, launched in 2019, had only three cohorts on campus in 2021 and has since reached its full complement of four cohorts
"SMU has seen sustained growth in enrolment for our computing-related programmes over the past few years, and our programmes are consistently oversubscribed by around six times," said Professor Pang Hwee Hwa, dean of the SMU School of Computing and Information Systems.
