Overview
NTU’s Bachelor of Computing (Hons) in Computer Science is admissions-led by academic preparation. The program emphasizes mathematics and computing/physics foundations; it does not use a portfolio or statement of purpose for standard undergraduate admission, and English test scores matter only when proof of English proficiency is required.
