As data becomes increasingly integral to our daily lives, companies are investing in data analytics capabilities to remain competitive and stay ahead of industry advancements. However, the rapid evolution of data analytics tools has resulted in a shortage of qualified data analysts and data scientists in the market.
The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering and College of Science (CoS) jointly offer a Second Major in Data Analytics to address this gap and align students with emerging job trends.
At NTU-CEE, you will be equipped to enhance liveable and sustainable environments as a civil engineer, develop additional skills to apply data analytics in real-world projects and decision-making. We are #3 in Asia and #9 in the world for Civil & Structural Engineering, according to the 2025 QS World University Rankings by Subject.
Applicants are expected to fulfil these minimum subject requirements.
