Study Advice for Data Science and Analytics (DSA) Students

• Students are strongly advised to follow the sample study plan listed in the programme document as closely as possible.  In particular, students should complete:
  • DSA1101 by Year 1, Semester 2;
  • DSA2101 by Year 2, Semester 2; and
  • DSA3101 by Year 3, Semester 2.

Graduation may be delayed if the required courses are not completed on schedule.  If you are unable to do so, you must complete any outstanding courses by Semester 1 of the following academic year.

• When making your study plans, please check that you have met the prerequisites of courses you intend to read as the department generally does not grant prerequisite waivers.

• For students intending to take the Undergraduate Professional Internship Programme (UPIP) to fulfil the ST/DSA graduation requirements:

(a) Please note that DSDS gives a blanket approval for you to read any ONE of the following courses (DSA3101 or DSA426x) concurrently with UPIP, provided it is the only course you read. This means that you do not need to seek DSA3101/DSA426x course coordinator’s approval if you are only reading DSA3101 or a DSA426x course concurrently with UPIP. GEN or CFG-coded courses are exempted from this rule.

(b) For DSDS courses, you must obtain written consent from your employer to attend all lectures and tutorials. You will need to submit this employer approval to the DSDS course coordinator when requesting approval to read courses alongside UPIP.
You do not need to do this if you are only taking DSA3101 or a DSA426x course, as explained in (a).

(c) Do note that the course coordinator is not obligated to make special arrangements or approve additional courses for students on UPIP.
