Students in 2008 and 2009 Cohorts

BBA, BBA(Acc), BBA(Hons) & BBA(AccHons) Degree Requirements

Our BBA, the leadership and management talent programme, requires students to complete 120 modular credits (MCs) to graduate. After completing at least 80 MCs worth of business foundation/essential/elective modules, students with Cumulative Average Point (CAP) of 3.5 (out of 5.0) will be invited to join the BBA Honours (BBA(H) or BBA(AccH)) programme, which requires 160 modular credits for graduation (40 more than for the BBA programme).

When registering for modules, students are to note the pre-requisites that indicate the base of knowledge on which the subject matter of a particular module will be built. Before taking a module, a student should complete any pre-requisite module(s) listed for that particular module. Where pre-requisites are specified, equivalent modules will also be accepted. If in doubt, students should consult the course instructor or academic advisors regarding the acceptable pre-requisite equivalent modules.

The degree requirements for the 3-year BBA program and the 4-year BBA Honours program are listed in Tables 1 and 2 below.

These requirements follow the NUS undergraduate curriculum structure having the following outline:
