Important FAQ

https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/programmes/pg/mcs/faq/

Can I apply for more than one specialisation for MComp via the online Graduate Admission System?_
Ans: Yes, you can. However, the system only allows you to select one specialisation, that is, your first preference. If you want to apply for your second and/or third specialisation preference(s), you will need to clearly indicate your additional preference(s) in your “Personal Statement”. The application fee is still S$100 (before prevailing GST) for such case._
