Master in Computing (Computer Science Specialisation) - Batch of 2024

Offered by National University of Singapore

4.4

Intellectually challenging place.

Tips: Students should be ready to study a lot. They should be mentally ready to take difficult subjects and work on a lot of assignments and projects in all subjects simultaneously. The most important thing is the heavy competition you will be facing from your peers. Don't be afraid of it, but don't take it easy as well. I didn't avail of any scholarships. I am very satisfied with this university.

Likes (Student Life): I spend most of my time studying at college. I enjoy studying, working on projects and coding. I am also part of many clubs and thus I am happy with my current student life. Almost all events like sports, music, traditional events and many more are organised in the college. I participate in events that I like. There are technical and non-technical clubs, both on the campus.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I find more restaurants serving Chinese cuisine in my area (Clementi). However, if you travel to places like Little India, you will definitely find more Indian food stalls there, but as you move away from Little India, the count of stalls reduces. In my college, I find hardly 2-3 Indian food stalls.

NUS is a university which rewards you for what you put into it.

Tips: You can get a lot of scholarships/bond to lower the cost of tuition fees at NUS. I think I'm pretty adaptable, so transitioning to living in Singapore was not a problem at all, and while there have been high highs and low lows, all in all, I'm quite happy with my university life.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The statistics faculty is very diverse and quite friendly. The course material taught is a great balance between practical and theoretical knowledge. The other courses I've taken outside of Science have also been amazing with some great faculty. Of course, there will be some professors you may not connect with, but I've not had a problem like that really.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I can't really answer this question accurately as I haven't graduated yet, but from what I've seen of previous classes you will definitely be able to find a good job in Singapore as long as you are applying to a good selection of companies. The employment rate in my faculty is extremely high.

Good exposure time to explore yourself.

Tips: One of the first things you must do when you arrive is to meet and make friends with other students. This will help you when you need help in a pinch. Also, be sure to enjoy the cultural festivals and participate in them. While I didn't get a scholarship, I am happy with the exposure I got to this country. There is affordable transportation for students. You can choose to use either your own vehicle or public transportation. City buses are available for everyone. As a student, you should prefer public transportation to help save nature. You can also use a bicycle for your daily transportation needs. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The National University of Singapore (NUS) provides a diverse range of dining options that cater to students, staff, and visitors, with food courts, cafes, and restaurants spread across the campus. However, the pricing and value for money at these establishments have been a topic of discussion. Restaurants like The Royals Bistro and Platypus Food Bar serve Western and fusion dishes in a comfortable setting. While the food is delicious and presented well, the prices are relatively high for a student's budget. A meal here typically costs between SGD 10–15, making it less appealing for everyday dining.
