Candidates who have the aptitude and interest may apply for direct entry into the double major program. Students will be admitted into this Double Major degree programme at the point of entry to SIM. They will be awarded with one degree with two majors, in accordance to the duration of study offered during admission. The duration of study will be identical to that of the single major counterpart, hence the Double Major shortens time via the innovative course structure, but delivers twice the learning impact and experience.

It is conceived as an opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge and skill base by pursuing two majors concurrently. The programme aims to leverage on the foundational base of computer science, allowing students to stretch their horizon of ICT competencies in two complementing areas. This degree will feature and amalgamate two distinct majors within an innovative new structure. The degree focuses on both theoretical foundations and practical approaches to computation and its applications.

Digital security and data analysis are two essential pillars of ICT operations in modern day contemporary corporate business entities. To be equipped with knowledge coupled with hands-on proficiency in these two fields greatly heightens the value of an ICT personnel.
