The Second Major in Data Analytics equips Environmental Engineering students with additional technical competency to integrate applications with data analytics. 

With data becoming pervasive in the way we live, companies are investing in data analytics capabilities to keep up with developments and competition. However, data analytics tools are evolving at a rapid pace and there is a shortage of qualified data analysts and data scientists in the market today. To align students with emerging employment trends, the College of Science (CoS) and College of Engineering (CoE) jointly offer the Second Major in Data Analytics.

Environmental Engineering students can take advantage of their technical knowledge and training in the environmental domain to integrate applications in data analytics. This will expand their career options after graduation.

NOTES

¹   Pass in H1 Level / ‘O’ Level Physics is only applicable to applicants who have not read H2 Level Physics. Applicants with a good grade in 'O' Level Combined Science [(Physics and Chemistry) or (Physics and Biology)] will be considered.
²   Pass in Standard Level Physics is only applicable to applicants who have not read Higher Level Physics.
³   Overall CAP of 2.0 in Physics is only applicable to applicants who have not majored in Physics.
⁴   Pass in Junior High School Level Physics is only applicable to applicants who have not read Senior High School Level Physics.

Applicants with only a H1 Level / ‘O’ Level pass in Physics are required to read 'PH1012 Physics A' instead of 'PH1011 Physics' in their first semester. Computer Engineering and Computer Science students will read 'SC1013 Physics for Computing' instead.

International Students
International students must have completed at least 12 years of general education, or will be taking Year 12 national examinations in the year of application in order to be considered for admission. In addition to fulfilling the minimum entry requirements, applicants must also satisfy the minimum subject requirements. For further details, please refer here.

INFORMATION & ENQUIRIES
