Students admitted from the School of Business must complete all required business modules in the BBA(Honours) program up to Level 2000 before taking any module from item (5) or (6) of the MSR. Other students must complete item (1) of the DKR before taking any module from item (4) of the MSR; and must complete items (1) and (2) of the DKR before taking any module from item (5) or (6) of the MSR. Otherwise, so long as any pre-requisites are satisfied, students may take modules in any order.

Students who had been admitted from outside the School of Business will be informed whenever they have completed the Minor in Management or the Major in Management, en route to the MSc(Mgt). These students will be awarded the Minor in Management or the Major in Management together with their original bachelor degree, if they are not also awarded a BBA/BBA(Honours).

MSc(Mgt) students could opt to do all 10 modules for the MSR from the Level-5000/6000 research-type coursework modules in item (5). Carefully chosen, these 10 modules may then be used, subject to any prevailing PhD program regulations governing exemptions, to satisfy all or part of the PhD (Management) coursework requirement, if a student is accepted into the PhD program after graduation. This may amount to a saving of up to one year for the PhD program.

Some Level-5000/6000 research-type non-seminar coursework modules for the MSR are conducted using a format familiar to undergraduates.

Upon the recommendations of their advisors, and with the approval of the USP Office, USP students in the MSc(Mgt) may count a collection of modules in item (5) of the MSR as part of their USP Advanced Modules requirements, subject to any prevailing regulations governing such multiple counting of modules.

Undergraduate business modules can stand in for corresponding MBA modules that are pre-requisites for modules in item (6) of the MSR, so MSc(Mgt) students are guided in their choices for MSR modules according to their completed undergraduate business modules serving as pre-requisites. Currently, a limited selection of MBA-type modules designed separately for MSc(Mgt) students, which might be conducted in the evening from 6 to 9 pm, is available for item (6) of the MSR. These separate MSc(Mgt) modules are supplemented with all regular evening MBA classes, generally conducted from 6 to 9 pm, as long as there are designated vacancies. MSc(Mgt) students are not expected to join MBA students in daytime classes.

Students are guided by any prevailing regulations governing the maximum number of undergraduate and/or graduate modules taken per term. In any case, even with special permission, students are not expected to take more than 7 modules per term while in the MSc(Mgt) program.

Modules time-tables are at: BBA; MBA; PhD. Registrations for some modules are at the Centralised On-Line Registration System (CORS).

The student status described in this section is purely for Biz-administered Financial Aids and other Program Administration purposes, and need bear no resemblance to any other official student status, e.g. relating to payment of tuition fees.

Students who had been admitted from the School of Business and who have no more than 32 MCs left in their combined BBA(Honours)-MSc(Mgt) curriculum are regarded as graduate students.

For students who had been admitted from outside the School of Business, those who have completed less than 32 MCs of the MSc(Mgt) program are regarded as third-year BBA students; those who have completed no less than 32 but less than 48 MCs are regarded as Honours-year BBA students; and those who have completed no less than 48 MCs of the MSc(Mgt) program are regarded as graduate students.

Students may complete up to 32 MCs of the MSc(Mgt) program, including up to 16 MCs of the MSR, with any exchange partner universities, including through the highly selective NUS Overseas Colleages (NOC). All overseas modules are credited to the MSc(Mgt) program on the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis.

Exchange partners listings are at: BBA; MSc(Mgt); MBA (not many currently include MSc(Mgt)); NUS

Students in the dual-master program with CEMS graduate in Europe after spending one year there.

For continuation in the MSc(Mgt) program, a student must maintain:.

• an average grade point of at least 3.5 for modules counting towards the MSc(Mgt) degree
• an overall CAP of at least 3.5

Modules in item (1) are part of those in item (2). All computations of average grade point and CAP are according to any prevailing regulations governing concurrent or dual-degree programs.

Students with average grade points of less than 3.0 for item (1) will have automatically left the MSc(Mgt) program. Otherwise, students will be automatically suspended if they do not meet either item (1) or (2) for continuation in the program. Suspended students may continue to take modules in the program, and will have their suspension automatically lifted if they subsequently satisfy both items (1) and (2) for continuation in the program. Students who had been suspended continuously for more than 2 semesters will have automatically left the program.

Students who have left the MSc(Mgt) program will not be allowed to take modules in the program, but may reapply for admission.
