NUS Computing traces its roots back to the Nanyang University Department of Computer Science that was established in 1975. Since then, NUS Computing has developed into one of the best computing schools in the world, attracting excellent students and producing talented graduates who are making their mark in the world. This year, NUS Computing celebrates its 20th anniversary of the school's establishment.
The Department of Computer Science (DCS) was established within the Faculty of Science, Nanyang University.
A three-year degree course in Computer Science was introduced. The University of Singapore and Nanyang University merged to become National University of Singapore. The Computer Science Society (CSS) student club was formed.
DCS became the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science (DISCS). A new intergrated Information Systems and Computer Science degree programme was launched. DISCS took occupancy of the new S15 building. The Computer and Information Science Alumni Association (CISAA) was established. DISCS took occupancy of the new S16 building.
The NUS School of Computing was established, comprising of the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Information Systems. The curriculum was revised to offer four-year degree programmes in Computer Science or Information Systems. CSS was renamed to the NUS Students' Computing Club. NUS Computing took occupancy of the new S17 building.
The Department of Computer Science moved to the current COM1 and AS6 buidlings. The Department of Information Systems moved to the current COM2 building. CISAA was renamed to the Computing Alumni Association (CAA). The Business Analytics degree programme was launched. NUS Computing earned its best international ranking for computer science and information systems: 8th in the world and 1st in Asia. Department of Information Systems was renamed to Department of Information Systems and Analytics.
