BSc in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

In this programme, run jointly with the School of Computer Science and Engineering, students explore the emerging field of data science and artificial intelligence, by mastering the synergistic disciplines of computer science and statistics. Click here for more information.

BSc in Mathematical and Computer Sciences (Double Major)

In this selective Double Major programme, run jointly with the School of Computer Science and Engineering, students take courses in both Mathematical Sciences and Computer Sciences. Graduates are equipped to work in the rapidly-developing fields of financial technology, cybersecurity, and data analytics, or postgraduate degrees in mathematics, computer science, and other related disciplines. The programme allows for in-depth training in one of four areas at the interface of Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science: Theoretical Computer Science, Cryptography and Cybersecurity, Financial Modelling, and Data Science.

BSc in Mathematical Sciences and Economics (Double Major)

In this Double Major programme, students learn how to apply mathematics in economics and financial modeling. The curriculum is geared towards students who plan to pursue careers in the financial services industry, or professional or graduate programmes in finance, economics, actuarial science, or related fields. The programme is run jointly with the Division of Economics at the School of Social Sciences.

BSc in Physics and Mathematical Sciences (Double Major)

In this Double Major programme, students explore the intersections of physics and mathematics, learning the skills needed to perform fundamental investigations of the natural world, as well as computation and problem-solving. Topics covered include differential geometry and general relativity, topology and condensed matter physics, and quantum field theory. The programme is run jointly with the Division of Physics and Applied Physics.

BSc in Mathematical Sciences with Second Major in Data Analytics

This Second Major programme equips Mathematical Sciences majors with foundational and practical skills in data analytics, a discipline that is increasingly pervasive in science, technology, and business. The data analytics courses for the Second Major are offered by a wide range of Schools in NTU's College of Science and College of Engineering.

BSc in Mathematical Sciences with Second Major in Entrepreneurship

This Second Major in Entrepreneurship programme equips students with fundamental entrepreneurship competency and broadens their understanding of enterprise and innovation. It also inculcates students with an entrepreneurial mindset to deal with uncertainties in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world, allowing them to become drivers of technology innovation. Students are provided with hands-on experiences in technopreneurship, along with a 20-week relevant overseas/local internship opportunities. The courses for the Second Major are offered by the Nanyang Technopreneurship Center (NTC) and the Nanyang Business School. Click here for a video about NTC undergraduate programmes.

BSc in Mathematical Sciences with Second Major in Sustainability

This Second Major programme combines a rigorous foundation in the mathematical sciences with wide-ranging exposure to issues involving sustainability. Students learn how to address environmental challenges by combining mathematical methods with domain-specific knowledge in the sciences, engineering, the humanities, and business. The courses for the Second Major are offered by the Asian School of the Environment.

BSc in Mathematics and Economics

As of Academic Year 2018, this combined degree is no longer offered, except to returning NSmen who were previously offered the programme. New students should refer to the BSc in Mathematical Sciences and Economics (Double Major) programme, described above.
