The Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computer Science in Real-Time Interactive Simulation is a four-year direct honours joint-degree programme offered by SIT and DigiPen Institute of Technology.
The programme provides rigorous training in foundational STEM modules that underpin computer science and simulations, and also focusses on deep programming skills that include high-level programming, low-level programming, advanced C/C++, data structures, algorithms analysis and three progressive modules in computer graphics.
Students will embark on a persistent studio-based software engineering project that spans across every trimester of the study and allows students to continuously apply their module-based knowledge in larger-scale projects, as well as hone essential soft skills in working within multidisciplinary teams. Graduates will be fully industry-ready with deep technical expertise in developing real-time interactive systems.
Curriculum Highlights
Students focus on the following core areas of study:
- Software Engineering Projects
- Game Implementation Techniques
- Advanced Computer Graphics
- Machine Learning
- Artificial Intelligence for Games
- 12-month Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP)
- Overseas Immersion Programme (OIP)
Career Opportunities
Graduates of this programme are prepared to enter the video game industry as
- Computer Scientist

Integrated Work Study Programme
Integrated Work Study Programme provides students with the opportunity to undertake real work. Held over the span of 12 months, it is designed to be more in-depth than a traditional internship. You will gain real work experience and apply the theories you learn in class with actual practice.
Overseas Immersion Program
The Overseas Immersion Program is mandatory for students in the BSc (Hons) Computer Science in Real-Time Interactive Simulation program. Students will study for one trimester at DigiPen Institute of Technology’s U.S. campus in Redmond, Washington, attending lectures, labs, and industry seminars. Students will interact with American professors and mentors while experiencing life in a different culture with their overseas peers.
