Programme Pathways

Extending your degree through structured academic routes.

Within each undergraduate programme, students may pursue formally structured pathways that combine computing with other disciplines. These pathways are academically integrated and follow defined curriculum structures.

Double Degrees

Integrated programmes leading to two full degrees.

Examples include:

· Computer Science + Business

· Computer Engineering + Business

· Computer Science + Economics

· Computer Engineering + Economics

· Accountancy + Data Science & Artificial Intelligence

Joint and Interdisciplinary Degrees

Programmes designed from inception as interdisciplinary collaborations:

· B.Sc. Mathematical and Computer Science (with SPMS)

· B. Applied Computing in Finance (with NBS)

· B.Sc. Economics and Data Science (with SSS)

These are standalone degree programmes jointly offered across colleges.

Second Majors

Structured second major options in selected disciplines such as:

· Business

· Entrepreneurship

· Data Analytics

· Sustainability

These allow students to add interdisciplinary depth alongside their primary programme.

Minors

Students may pursue approved minors across the University to broaden academic exposure in specific areas.

Minors provide structured breadth without extending degree duration.

TAISP

Turing AI Scholars Programme

The Turing AI Scholars Programme (TAISP) is an enhanced academic track for high-performing students within selected Computing degrees.

It is not a separate degree pathway. Instead, it is an accelerated scholarly trajectory layered onto the existing curriculum.

TAISP scholars complete the full requirements of their primary degree while undertaking:

· Advanced AI-focused coursework

· Early and sustained research engagement

· Close mentorship by faculty

· Exposure to high-impact AI research environments

· Structured global or industry immersion opportunities

The duration of study remains aligned with the primary degree structure.

TAISP is designed for students who seek deeper intellectual challenge, stronger research grounding, and preparation for postgraduate study or advanced AI roles.

Experiential Learning

Structured Practice Under Real Constraints

Learning extends beyond lectures. Concepts are reinforced through structured application across the curriculum.

Students engage in:

· Multi-stage software development cycles

· Systems-level engineering projects

· Data modelling and AI experimentation using defined evaluation criteria

· Team-based builds with documented design decisions

Internships are embedded within programme structures and supervised within academic frameworks.

Experience is not incidental. It is engineered into progression.

Industry Engagement

Professional Context Matters

Computing is practised in production environments shaped by scale, regulation, and operational constraints.

Industry interaction takes place through:

· Structured internship components

· Industry-informed curriculum design

· Practitioner seminars and technical talks

· Collaborative project briefs and problem statements

The objective is alignment, not marketing. Students develop an understanding of professional standards and deployment realities alongside technical capability.

Global Exposure

Perspective Beyond Borders

Computing does not operate in isolation. Systems are built across geographies, deployed across regulatory environments, and shaped by diverse user contexts.

Understanding this requires exposure beyond a single campus or country.

At CCDS, students may pursue structured international pathways across academic study, industry placements, and enrichment programmes.

Based on mobility data from AY2022–AY2024, approximately one in three CCDS undergraduates participated in at least one overseas experience.

These experiences include:

· Semester-long academic exchange

· Short-term global programmes

· Overseas industry and enterprise exposure

· Global enrichment and leadership initiatives

Participation reflects both opportunity and academic eligibility. Host institutions typically require a minimum academic standing.

Inbound mobility is also active, with sustained international participation from partner institutions across Europe, North Asia, and North America.

Global exposure broadens perspective.

Foundational rigour remains central.
