NTU-Georgia
Tech Integrated Programme in Computer Science/Computer
Engineering
Supported by the Infocomm Development Authority
of Singapore (IDA), Nanyang Technological University
(NTU) and the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia
Tech) have collaborated on a new integrated Bachelor
of Engineering (Computer Science/Computer Engineering)
and Master of Science (Computer Science) programme.
Students enrolled in this programme will graduate
with both degrees in four to four and a half years.
This fast-track programme, is designed for students
with excellent scholastic abilities and a passion
for Computer Science/Computer Engineering. Students
will spend three years in NTU’s School of
Computer Engineering, where a strong foundation
in computing will be built. There will also be
opportunities to select from a myriad of undergraduate-level
subjects including computer game programming, intelligent
systems, and network security.
The next one to one-and-a-half years will be spent at Georgia Tech’s College of Computing, reading graduate-level subjects and going into an in-depth study of their chosen specialisations. The diversity and flexibility of the curriculum allows students to have a comprehensive all-rounded education, with a global perspective.

Year 4/5 – Georgia Tech’s MS in Computer Science
The integrated program involves students undertaking the Project option in Georgia Tech for the MS in Computer Science (M.S.C.S.). The Project option requires students to complete 27 hours of coursework and a project.
Computer Science Core: All M.S.C.S. students will have to complete three hours of courses in each of the core areas of Systems and Theory at the graduate level. Currently the classes are as follows:
Systems – CS6210, CS6290, CS6241
Theory – CS6505
The list of classes may be updated from time to time. Students should refer to M.S.C.S. website for updates.
Specialization: Beside the core requirements, each student must complete at least on specialization as part of the program. Students may specialize in their areas of choice, and complete at least 2 graduate-level courses in the selected area. The current 10 specialization areas are:
- Computer architecture
- Database systems
- Systems
- Graphics and visualization
- Human-computer interaction
- Intelligent systems
- Networking and communications
- Programming languages and compilers
- Software methodology and engineering
- Theoretical computer science
