Bachelor’s Degree Scheme in Computer and Mathematical Sciences

Curriculum

All students admitted to the scheme will embark on a Common Year One curriculum. Towards the end of Year One, students can choose their preferred programmes within the Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences through a ranking assessment, which considers a combination of entrance qualification score, Year One GPA, and interview performance.

From Year Two onwards, students will progress into one of the following majors to deepen their expertise in their chosen discipline:  

Double Major Options

Students interested in expanding their studies beyond a single degree may apply for a Second Major from another department within FCMS.

The following Double Major study options are available:

1. Applied Mathematics + Artificial Intelligence ^
2. Applied Mathematics + Artificial Intelligence with Financial Technology ^
3. Applied Mathematics + Computer Science
4. Applied Mathematics + Enterprise Information Systems
5. Artificial Intelligence + Investment Science and Finance Analytics ^
6. Artificial Intelligence + Quantitative Finance and FinTech ^
7. Artificial Intelligence with Financial Technology + Investment Science and Finance Analytics ^
8. Computer Science + Data Science and Analytics
9. Computer Science + Investment Science and Finance Analytics
10. Computer Science + Quantitative Finance and FinTech
11. Data Science and Analytics + Enterprise Information Systems
12. Enterprise Information Systems + Investment Science and Finance Analytics
13. Enterprise Information Systems + Quantitative Finance and FinTech

^{^ The programme is offered subject to approval.}
