BBA + Economics

Overview

The double degree programmes integrate and synergise the strengths of the two disciplines in Economics and Business. Business is multi-disciplinary and imparts the necessary skill set  for meeting the challenges of the business world, while Economics, being a science of choice, imparts the skill sets for problem-solving. The two are therefore complementary and inextricably interwoven.

Both combinations of economics and business is to nurture business-savvy professionals with an edge in economics. The programmes are designed so that students may complete it in a reasonable timeframe: four-and-a-half years for Single Honours and five years for Double Honours. However DDP Econs + BBA (Acc.)/ BBA(Acc.Hons)  may need to extend beyond 5 years.

The maximum period of candidature will be six years. For DDP involving BBA (Acc) or BBA (Acc. Hons) the maximum period of candidature will be seven years

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) and the School of Business (BIZ) jointly offer the following six options of double degree programmes in Economics and BBA/BBA (Acc.):

• BBA(Hons)/BSocSci(Hons) - a double honours degree programme
• BBA(Hons)/BA - a single honours double degree programme
• BSocSci(Hons)/BBA - a single honours double degree programme
• BBA(Acc. Hons)/ BSocSci(Hons) - a double honours degree programme
• BBA(Acc. Hons)/BA - a single honours double degree programme
• BSocSci(Hons)/BBA(Acc.) - a single honours double degree programme
