The Bachelor of Science with Honours in Applied Computing with a specialisation in Fintech is a three-year direct honours programme offered by SIT in partnership with Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). It aims to grow Infocomm Technology (ICT) talents adept in financial technology (fintech) for the finance sector.

This programme will equip students with essential computing and finance knowledge, and enable them to develop practical skill sets required by the fintech sector. Students will also receive training in software engineering, applied computing, and machine learning with domain knowledge for the financial sector, such as banking compliance, financial products, and investment management.

The programme will also provide students with intensive and structured ICT training contextualised to the financial sector.

The programme is based on the Work-Study Degree Term-In-Term-Out (TITO) model. It harnesses SIT’s applied learning pedagogy by incorporating industry work attachments in each year of study. Students will go through a total of 16 months of industry attachments over a three-year period. The TITO model requires students to alternate between spending one to two trimesters in university and at the workplace.
