Programme Structure / Cohorts 2017 and 2018

##: NUS will adopt three new academic terminologies from 1 August 2023 - “Module” will be renamed “Course”, “Modular Credit (MC)” will be renamed “Unit”, and “Cumulative Average Point (CAP)” will be renamed “Grade Point Average (GPA)”. The definition of a Module/Course and MC/Unit will remain the same, and there will be no change to the computation of the CAP/GPA.

^ It is not compulsory for DDP students to specialize in a business area for the BBA degree, but they are still required to complete 24 MCs of electives based on the above arrangement. Students who wish to specialize in a business area may have to read extra modules to meet the respective specialization requirements. Business (home faculty) students who withdraw from the DDP and return to the BBA/BBA(H) single degree programme are still required to specialise.
