Accountancy
The Nanyang Business School (NBS) Bachelor of Accountancy degree programme equips you with the knowledge and skills to excel in the new economy.This requires an increasing emphasis on a broad range of business competencies. In view of this, besides the traditional knowledge and skills in measurement and reporting, our curriculum incorporates the following to develop students to meet the demands of the new economy.
Content
Accountants no longer deal only with company audits, financial plans, company accounts and operating budgets. Also, accountants are no longer just concerned with balancing the books. Good accountants know how to manage, present and interpret financial information to solve business problems. Well-trained accountants with a good understanding of business issues now play critical roles in devising business plans, developing IT systems and tools for enterprise resource planning, financial and risk management and tax planning.
Business studies
The Nanyang Business School (NBS) Bachelor of Business course allows you to specialize in a particular field that suits your personality and interests. You study how financial markets and tools such as derivatives and equities work and you can become a banker, investment analyst, financial analyst or risk manager. If you enjoy working with complex mathematical and statistical techniques leading to the design and pricing of insurance products, you can consider specializing in Actuarial Science which trains you to become a qualified actuary. In Applied Economics, you study real-life economic issues such as the impact of trade on growth and how to manage public funds to raise a country's welfare, issues critical to many countries today. This will help you to contribute as a researcher or a professional economist. The fast pace of technological change means that firms will need to learn how to use IT to grow their businesses. Graduates with in-depth knowledge of Information Technology working as Business IT analysts or IT consultants will be in great demand by firms and industries.No business can survive without good marketing. If you enjoy interacting with people, specializing in Marketing can help you select a career in market communications, logistics management, brand management or retail management.
Computer engineering
Computers are an indispensable part of modern culture and are the primary engine behind much of the world's economic growth. Computer engineers, with their specialist skills in hardware and software, play a key role in the advancement of high performance microprocessor technologies and their application in devices, processes and systems .As a student in the School of Computer Engineering, you have a balanced practical and theoretical approach to the study of software and hardware of computer systems.On completing your studies, you will take with you expertise in a range of topics such as electronic and microprocessor systems design, digital signal processing, control systems, computer architecture and systems, communication technology, networking, computer graphics, software engineering, databases, object oriented programming and Internet connection technology.
Materials Engineering
The duration of the Materials Engineering course is four years. Those who demonstrate exceptional academic abilities may graduate within three and a half years. Students with good GCE 'A' Level grades may be considered for exemption from some first-year subjects if they have distinguished themselves at the 'A' Level examination.
Upon the successful completion of the course, graduates are awarded the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Materials Engineering). This is a professional degree and the Materials Engineering course has been accredited by the Institution of Engineers, Singapore, the Professional Engineers Board, Singapore, and the Institute of Materials, United Kingdom.
Course Profile
For students who aspire to a professional career, the Materials Engineering course provides a broad basic engineering education as well as an appropriate measure of specialisation in advanced topics. The curriculum includes several subjects related to Computer, Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineering. This is extremely important as the Materials Engineer will need to have, in addition to his materials knowledge, broad-based general engineering skills and knowledge to handle a variety of tasks and problems encountered in his job and to meet the challenges of the new economy.
In the Final year, students take electives from a list of advanced materials engineering subjects. This allows them to specialise in areas such as biomaterials, microelectronics materials, materials processing, materials performance & protection, metallurgy, and polymer engineering.
There are also subjects dealing with Communication Skills, Human Resource Management, Entrepreneurship, Economics and Law. These develop the students' understanding of economic and human issues and will be important assets in their future careers.
