The Master of Computing (MComp) programme is a flagship graduate programme from the National University of Singapore, School of Computing. Over the years, it has evolved to be a comprehensive and challenging graduate programme, with specialised courses that includes the latest research findings in both applied and fundamental computing fields. The programme provides advanced and in-depth knowledge of IT to prepare the students for challenges in their IT careers.
The MComp (General Track) programme is designed primarily for students with non-computing undergraduate degrees and aims to provide a systematic pathway for graduates who wish to embark on an accelerated conversion to the computing field. Graduates will benefit from essential courses that will help build a strong foundation in computing fundamentals and elective courses that cover deep computing expertise. This will help to prepare MComp graduates for future career challenges in the Infocomm sector.

mcomp-gen@comp.nus.edu.sgThe NUS School of Computing traces its roots back to the Nanyang University Department of Computer Science that was established in 1975 – the first of its kind in Singapore. Since then, we have developed into one of the leading computing schools in the world, with faculty members who are both internationally recognised researchers and inspiring teachers.
We offer outstanding undergraduate and graduate degree programmes across the full spectrum of the field of computing, including Computer Science, Information Systems, Computer Engineering, Business Analytics and Information Security, as well as specialisations in emerging areas of importance such as artificial intelligence, fintech, blockchain, analytics and security. Correspondingly, we attract excellent students and produce talented graduates who are making their mark in the world.

The MComp (General Track) programme is suitable for applicants with non-computing degrees. The value of computing expertise in the workforce has increased sharply in recent years, fuelling enthusiasm and interest in the field among candidates across all sectors and backgrounds. However, there were few avenues to pursue a postgraduate degree in computing for many individuals without having a related degree. The MComp (General Track) programme is designed to provide opportunities for these candidates to enhance their computing knowledge and reposition themselves in their respective industries as competent IT professionals.
