We have reached a remarkable milestone – 25 years as NUS School of Computing. From a student enrolment of 1,700 back in 1998, we now have over 6,000 today. That’s how much we have grown in a quarter of a century!
NUS Computing has played an instrumental role in delivering computing education and grooming generations of IT professionals for Singapore over the years. Our graduates are highly sought-after, a testament to our success.
We owe much of our success to you – our dedicated “SoC family” of staff, students and alumni. Only with your unwavering commitment to excellence, we will continue to innovate, thrive and assume a vital role in shaping a digital future for all.
It has been an incredible 25-year journey so far. As we embark on the next 25 years, I am confident that the legacy we leave behind will prevail in our future endeavours and accomplishments.
