MComp - General Track

The Master of Computing (MComp) programme is a flagship graduate programme from the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

Over the years, it has evolved into a comprehensive and challenging graduate programme, with specialised courses that include the latest research findings in both applied and fundamental computing fields. The programme provides advanced and in-depth knowledge of information technology (IT) to prepare our students and graduates for challenges in their IT careers.

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 a related degree.

The MComp – General Track, introduced by the School of Computing in January 2021, is designed to provide a systematic pathway for graduates who wish to embark on an accelerated conversion to the computing field, offering opportunities for these candidates to enhance their computing knowledge and reposition themselves in their respective industries as competent IT professionals.

In addition to helping build a strong foundation in computing fundamentals, this programme offers elective courses that cover deep computing expertise to help prepare MComp graduates for future career challenges in the Infocomm sector.
