Minor in Management Programme for Non-Business Students

 

The NUS Business School invites applications in each regular semester for admissions to the Minor in Management Programme (previously known as Minor in Business), as part of NUS' Special Undergraduate Programmes. Details are announced sometime in March and October for admissions to the programme in Semester 1 and 2 respectively.

 

Other than Law students, all other NUS non-Business undergraduates may apply for admissions to this Minor, provided they: 

 

  • completed at least one semester of study;
  • apply no later than the 5th semester of their study.
  • have a Cumulative Average Point of at least 3.0;
  • have completed at least 3 Management Minor modules*


For Law undergraduates:

Since Law students take only law modules for their first 4 regular semester, their criteria are as follow:

  • They may apply either during their 4th semester, or during their 5th semester if they taking at least 1 Management Minor module*.
  • They must also be in the top half of their cohort in academic performance.

 

Note:
* The Management Minor module(s)

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

 

Once admitted to the Management Minor, 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(* Students who have withdrawn from the Minor in Management will not be re-admitted.

 

** The S/U option is not applicable to modules taken to meet the Minor program requirements.)
  

The Minor in Management Programme is a subset of the (a) Major in Management Programme, (b) Double Degree Programmes comprising the BBA, as well as (c) the Concurrent Master of Science (Management), MSc(Mgt), which can be further augmented by a Master in International Management (MIM) in Europe under scholarship. Students may upgrade from the Management Minor Programme to the Management Major and then to either the double degree or MSc(Mgt) programme (subject to meeting the admission criteria of these programmes). Just like the Minor in Management, these more comprehensive programmes are available to all eligible non-Business undergraduates. MSc(Mgt) is also available to BBA undergraduates, as are many Minor programmes offered by other faculties.

 

Students in the Management Minor bid online for Business modules via CORS after Business students, but before other non-Business students. 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 Management Minor students to strategise well in order to be able to complete the Minor. It is not uncommon for Management Minor students to run out of time before they graduate, and thus have to abandon the Minor.

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 Minor in Management programme, students are to complete 6 Business modules worth 24 modular credits in total. Details are shown in the table below.

 

Out of the 24 MCs, up to 8 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 4 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 minor programme modules to double count towards other programmes.
