With the rise of Industry 4.0, emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence have permeated into many aspects of business activities across different sectors, transforming the way we live and work, disrupting traditional business models and impacting the field of law. As technology becomes more intertwined with our daily lives, the intersections between technology and law have become more prevalent and complex.

In both scenarios, the need for trained specialists who are able to see things from both sides cannot be overemphasised. “We realised that this industry gap for a hybrid computing and law specialist could be readily filled by SMU because of our strong focus on interdisciplinary research and the fact that we have a reputable School of Law and a highly-regarded School of Information Systems within close proximity on campus that enables a high degree of collaboration,” explains Prof Lim.

While the new Bachelor of Science course might be seen as a combination of two existing degrees, Prof Lim emphasises that the interdisciplinary programme is certainly no less than its singular law and computing degree counterparts. Rather, graduates will be indispensable additions to the future workforce.

The future of education The cross-disciplinary nature of the undergraduate programmes at SMU also means that students have the option to combine this major in computing and law with a second major such as computing studies in AI or cybersecurity, or technology for business solutions in business analytics or financial technology, to maximise career opportunities.
