Moulding the Future of Technology | Fostering Leaders, Thinkers and Innovators

The College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS), formerly known as the School of Computer Science and Engineering, is NTU Singapore’s newest academic college. CCDS is a leading AI and computing institution known for its excellent curriculum, outstanding and impactful research, and world-renowned faculty. Our roots be

gan in 1988 as a humble school offering an undergraduate degree in Computer Technology, the first of its kind in Singapore. Today, we are ranked 2nd for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 2nd for Computer Science by U.S. News & World Report Best Global Universities, 2024; 8th for Data Science and AI, and 9th for Computer Science and Information Systems by QS World University Rankings, 2024. Our flagship MSAI degree is recognised as world’s “Top 6 master’s degree programmes” by Techopedia, 2024; and DSAI is listed as “Top 10 Best AI and Data Science Undergraduate Courses” by Forbes, 2021. A hot bed of cutting-edge technology and groundbreaking research, the college aims to groom the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators to thrive in the digital age. Located in the heart of Asia, NTU’s College of Computing and Data Science is an ‘exciting place to learn and grow. We welcome you to join our community of faculty, staff, students and alumni who are shaping the future of AI and Computing. Programmes

🏆 Huge congratulations to Team Hack Tuah who won first place at the National AI Student Challenge (NAISC)!

Held during the AI Student Developer Conference (AISDC) 2026, the five CCDS-member team took on the Singtel track to build an adaptive AI system that detects, visualises, and mitigates data drift to keep machine learning models accurate and reliable as data changes.

They built a pipeline that is able to make predictions 23.5% more accurate, all in under 30 seconds – plus an interactive dashboard to visualise it all. ⚡

This is the spirit CCDS strives to nurture: students rising to real-world challenges, pushing boundaries, and innovating their way to the top. 🚀

The future will keep changing.
Strong foundations matter.

At CCDS, students are challenged to think critically, build deeply, and adapt with intention in an AI-shaped world.

Offer acceptance for the CCDS Undergraduate Cohort AY2026/27 closes on Monday, 25 May 2026.

The best way to find out if a place is right for you? Hear from the people already there.

At CCDS Connect, our student ambassadors shared why they chose CCDS, what student life is really like, and the courses that reshaped how they see computing.

What are students *really* looking for in a university? And what do they think computer science is actually about?

Incoming students what drew them to the College of Computing and Data Science, their first impressions, and what's exciting them in tech right now.

Technical mastery is only half the equation. The rest is the willingness to think critically, be curious, and not be fearful of failure.

And that’s what CCDS professors are looking for. Not just skilled coders, but resilient thinkers ready to architect the future.

Our Turing AI scholars are currently in Beijing as part of their overseas immersion experience.

For Year 1 DSAI scholar Yang Mingchen, one detail at the Forbidden City stood out – the palace complex was designed not just for grandeur, but for resilience. Bronze water vats, open courtyards, and man-made waterways were carefully incorporated as fire prevention measures to protect the site across generations.

“Perhaps the greatest threats to what we treasure are not dramatic catastrophes, but overlooked dangers,” Mingchen reflected.

Beyond the classroom, experiences like these encourage TAISP scholars to think more deeply about systems, foresight, and what it takes to build things that last.

What does learning at CCDS actually look like?

Prospective students joined us at CCDS Connect on 9 May for an afternoon of conversations, discovery, and connection at Raffles City Convention Centre.

From student-led projects and demos to faculty discussions on learning in an AI-shaped world, the event offered students a closer look at the ideas, experiences and community that shape life at CCDS.

But some of the most meaningful moments happened beyond the formal programme – in the conversations between students, faculty, and alumni that continued long after the sessions ended.

This is what learning at CCDS looks like.

A strong computing education goes beyond technical knowledge.

For CCDS student Linus Loh, involvement in the NTU Students’ Computing and Data Science Club became an opportunity to develop leadership, teamwork, and the ability to navigate challenges alongside others.

From organising large-scale events to mentoring younger students, these experiences helped translate classroom learning into real-world confidence, communication, and leadership under pressure.

At CCDS, growth happens both inside and outside the classroom.
