Technology is witnessing a new revolution. By merging art and creativity with information, communications and digital media technology, new breakthroughs have been achieved. Remarkable progress in movie and games, for instance, can only be made possible with technology working hand in hand with art and creativity.

This new revolution has opened up new possibilities, experiences and business opportunities that will radically change the world. It has created the need for a new breed of infocomm engineers equipped with sound understanding of the artistic and creative processes in media design and production.

The Bachelor of Engineering in Information Engineering and Media (IEM) is here to answer this need.

This four-year direct-honours programme is hosted by the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and jointly offered with the School of Art, Design and Media, School of Computer Science and Engineering, and Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information.

DOUBLE-MAJOR PROGRAMME

BEng (IEM) with a Second Major in Business

This programme equips students with in-depth knowledge and skills in both Engineering and Business over the normal duration of 4 years. With both technical and business perspectives, graduates of this programme will have enhanced competitive advantage and market value, and access to a wider breadth of career options and opportunities. Graduates of the programme will be awarded a Bachelor of Engineering with a separate certificate for the second major in Business.

BEng (IEM) & BA (Econs) Double Degree Programme

The combined inter-disciplinary qualities of an engineer and an economist will be highly valued in the globalised environment of the future. Offered in partnership with NTU’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences, this programme aims to equip graduates with excellent knowledge and competency in both engineering and economics. With the changing dynamics of global economy, growing resource scarcity, and escalating societal and environmental concerns, engineers of the future will face increasing challenges to reconcile engineering activities with these considerations.

The double degree programme is specially tailored for academically confident and all-rounded students. Students will earn two honours degrees in five to five and a half years and can expect diverse career opportunities in the public and private sectors.
