The Singapore University of Technology and Design has launched a new undergraduate degree in design and artificial intelligence, in order to meet a growing demand for people who are able to combine skills in design innovation with technology and predictive modelling.
The new degree programme will last three and a half years, and will take in students this academic year, which starts in May.
Students in this course will be exposed to areas of design such as user interface/user experience, product, systems, built environment, and data-driven design. They will also learn to use AI technologies and algorithms to produce better design and applications.
Graduates of this programme will be able to work as data scientists and data visualisation specialists in industries such as urban planning, product design and telecommunications.
The entry requirements for the new programme are the same as for its other four degrees. Generally, students should be competent in mathematics and the sciences, namely physics or chemistry.
