For 2008 or later Cohort

The BBA(Acc.) programme leverages on the structure of the Bachelor of Business Administration degree programme in which a student must complete 120 Modular Credits (MCs) to graduate. The student will at the same time completely satisfy all the coursework requirements for the professional Accountant qualification. Students who perform well will be invited to continue on for Honours studies, whereby they will graduate with a Bachelor of Business Administration (Accountancy) with Honours (BBA(Acc.Hons.), or BBA(AH)). In the Honours programme, students can choose to take additional higher-level accounting or business modules.

 

Students may be admitted directly to the BBA(Acc.) programme. Students who are not admitted directly to the BBA(Acc.) programme may apply to transfer to the programme through the NUS Office of Amissions.  Applicants may be interviewed.  

 

Similarly, students in the BBA(Acc.) programme may apply to transfer to the BBA programme through the NUS Office of Admissions and may also be required to be interviewed.  Successful applicants may then choose their specialisation, or opt not to complete any specialisation, within the BBA.

A student switching between BBA and BBA(Acc.) will transfer all completed MCs to the target programme.

 

 

 

For 2007 or earlier Cohort

 

The BBA(Acc.) programme leverages on the structure of the Bachelor of Business Administration degree programme in which a student must complete 120 Modular Credits (MCs) to graduate.  The student will at the same time completely satisfy all the coursework requirements for the professional Accountant qualification.  Students who perform well will be invited to continue on for Honours studies, whereby they will graduate with a Bachelor of Business Administration (Accountancy) with Honours (BBA(Acc.Hons.), or BBA(AH))  In the Honours programme, students can choose to take additional higher-level accounting or business modules.

 

Students may be admitted directly to the BBA(Acc.) programme.  It is expected that the first batch of students in the BBA(Acc.) programme will only complete their programme in May 2009.  Students who are not admitted directly to the BBA(Acc.) programme may apply to transfer to the programme through the NUS Office of Amissions.  Applicants may be interviewed.  

 

Students admitted by August 2007 to the Bachelor of Business Administration with Accounting (Specialisation) programme automatically become candidates for the Bachelor of Business Administration (Accountancy) degree instead.

 

As the new compulsory accounting modules will only be progressively introduced beginning January of 2007, any current BBA students who are admitted to the BBA(Acc.) programme cannot expect to complete before May 2009.  Practically, this means that only BBA(Honours) students who entered NUS in August 2005, and double-degree students who entered NUS in August 2004, should consider the BBA(Acc.) programme. 

 

Students in the BBA(Acc.) programme may apply to transfer to the BBA programme through the NUS Office of Admissions and may be required to be interviewed.  Successful applicants may then choose their specialisation, or opt not to complete any specialisation, within the BBA.

 

For other students in the BBA programme, due to resource constraints, there will be a quota for the Accounting Specialisation for the foreseeable future, unlike the freely open nature for all the other specialisations (Finance, Management, Marketing, and Operations & Supply Chain Management).

 

A student switching between BBA and BBA(Acc.) will transfer all completed MCs to the target programme.
