Major in Mgmt for Non-BBA Students

The Business School will offer the Major in Management Programme ("Mgt Major"), a Double (Second) Major as part of NUS' Special Undergraduate Programmes, for students from all other faculties and schools.

The Mgt Major is a superset of the Minor in Management, and almost of the Minor in Technopreneurship. It is also almost a subset of the double degree programme comprising the BBA, as well as of the Concurrent Master of Science (Management) Programme, MSc(Mgt), which can be further augmented by a Master in International Management (MIM) in Europe under scholarship. Students may therefore upgrade from the Mgt Major to the double degree or the MSc(Mgt), subject to meeting the admission criteria of these programmes. Similarly, students admitted into the Management Major may "downgrade" to the Technopreneurship Minor or the Management Minor Programme. An alternative to the Mgt Major would be the Major in Management (Technology).

Students may be admitted to the programme in one of the following ways:

• Application by invited students just after they had been offered admissions to NUS, OR
• Application by students during their first or second year of study.*

NUS non-Business students will be invited, through their home faculty, to apply for admissions into the Major in Management Programme in March/October periods.

To apply, students must fulfill the following criteria:  

• completed at least one semester of study;
• apply no later than the 3rd semester of their study.
• have a CAP score of at least 3.5;
• If they apply in the 2nd semester of their study, they must have completed at least two (2) Management Major modules*
• If they apply in the 3rd semester of their study, they must have completed at least four (4) Management Major modules*

Note:
* The Management Major module(s)

• cannot be S/U module(s)
• exclude(s) Substituting module(s) or module(s) map back from SEP
• include(s) the Management Major module(s) that they are enrolled in at the time of application
  
  

Once admitted to the Mgt Major, students do not need to maintain any minimum academic performance threshold in order to remain in the programme. Some Business modules have mathematics requirement as for BBA admissions.

Students in the Mgt Major will bid online for Business modules via CORS.  Students should attend all classes (including any tutorials) for modules they are appealing to get into, else they might not finally get into a class even though the appeal is initially successful.

It is very necessary for Major students to strategise well in order to be able to complete the Major. It is expected not to be uncommon for Management Major students to run out of time before they graduate, and thus have to abandon the Major.

Due to severe capacity constraints, the Business School's Career Services Office would not be able to extend assistance to students in any Minor or Major programmes offered by the School.

To fulfill the requirements of the Major in Management programme, students are to complete 12 Business modules worth 48 modular credits in total. Details are shown in the table below.

Out of the 48 MCs, up to 16 MCs may be approved substituting modules taken while on student exchange programme (on the condition that the modules taken are graded modules at partner universities).  In addition, another 8 MCs may be substituting modules offered by other faculties in NUS (see Substituting modules).

Students may use up to a maximum of 8 MCs of their management major programme modules to double count towards other programmes.
