The structure of the Bachelor of Engineering/Science with a Second Major in Data Analytics (DA) integrates the requirements of both majors, with between 6 - 12AU of double-counting, within the typical candidature of 4 years. Incorporating relevant courses across different schools to provide students with the foundation and practical tools for data analytics, the DA curriculum has been curated to ensure that students receive critical knowledge and skills in the following areas:

(A)    Foundation in Mathematics, Statistics and Algorithms: The core courses in this group are focused on probability and statistics, linear algebra and algorithms/programming. It is essential that every data analyst or data scientist understands the theoretical underpinnings in order to be able to build reliable models with real-world applications.

(B)    Essentials in Data Analytics: The core courses in this group are focused on database, data mining and data visualization/management. These courses aim to prepare students for key responsibilities of a data analyst which generally include designing and maintaining data systems and databases, mining data from primary and secondary sources, using statistical tools to interpret data for diagnostic and predictions, and visualization tools for reporting and communications.

(C)    Advanced Electives in Data Analytics: With a variety of elective courses across different schools in COS and COE, students are able to gain in-depth exposure to artificial intelligence, neural network, machine learning, natural language processing and higher level courses in statistics, computations and algorithms.

Second Major in Data Analytics constitutes a total of 30 - 38AU, including 21 - 26AU of Compulsory Courses covering 7 key knowledge areas, as well as 9 - 12AU of data-related electives. Table 1 below shows the course options offered in each Knowledge Area as well as the electives that students can choose from. Some courses in Knowledge Areas 1 - 4 are Core or Major Prescribed Elective (MPE) in the respective primary Bachelor of Engineering/Science programme and can therefore be double-counted towards both majors. Please select your programme in Programme Options above to access the recommended courses and study plan.
