It is a consulting practicum where students form teams of 3 to 4 to solve a real-world business-related problem for a company or other organization over one to two semesters with a NUS supervisor guiding the team. It is a pro-bono project with no payment except for reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs. The business-related problem may be organizational strategy, marketing strategy, accounting information system, human resource training programme, etc. Most importantly, the students often must take a cross-disciplinary approach to develop the solution.

Work Experience Milestone (WEM)

Global Experience Milestone (GEM)
The objective of this milestone is to expose BIZ students to a foreign country to experience a different academic, work, social and/or cultural environment. GEM aligns with Singapore’s positioning as a global/regional business hub in which more future job roles will be regional or international in nature.

To complete the GEM, the student must complete a significant and approved overseas experience. The minimum will be a 5-day study trip with deliverables. The most common way to complete GEM is through an overseas exchange stint (through the Student Exchange Programme) or an overseas summer/winter school. Other alternatives are an overseas internship, an overseas community project, an overseas competition, etc. Financial assistance is available for financially challenged students.

Business Function Courses

Business Function courses (24 Units) are the same across all the primary majors offered at BIZ. Each course represents a basic functional area of a business and is not contextualised to the primary major. These 6 courses and the Business Environment courses (20 Units) provide a holistic and rigorous foundation for a business undergraduate degree.

The 6 Business Function courses are:
1. ACC1701 Accounting for Decision Makers
2. MKT1705 Principles of Marketing
3. MNO1706 Organisational Behaviour
4. DAO2702 Programming for Business Analytics
5. DAO2703 Operations & Technology Management
6. FIN2704 Finance

Restricted Courses

Restricted Courses: 36 Units for all BIZ majors, 44 Units for Accountancy major, 40 Units for Real Estate major. They are almost entirely courses that are highly contextualized to the (primary) major, and so the set of courses for each major will be almost entirely different, save for some courses that are cross-listed across two/more majors.

In essence, for each major, the structure of the Restricted Courses space comprises:

1) At least 24 Units of level 2000/3000 courses, some or all of which may be compulsory

2) A compulsory 4 Units capstone course for the major (level 4000)

BSP4701 Strategic Management – for all Business Majors (except Accountancy & Real Estate)
ACC4701 Integrated Perspectives in Accounting and Business – Accountancy major
RE4701 Real Estate Development – Real Estate Major

3) At least 8 Units of level 4000 courses, some or all of which may be compulsory

Please note that Points (2) and (3) and the compulsory Field Service Project are the default minimum requirements for an honours degree.

Students are encouraged to pursue a second major or up to 2 minors with Unrestricted Elective Courses. To fulfil UE requirement, students may take courses offered by the Business School and/or courses offered outside the School.
