Double-Honours Degree in Law and BBA (Hons) Programme

##: 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(H) 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.

@ Students will read an integrated Field Service Project (iFSP) module that will double count towards the Field Service Project requirement for the Business Honours programme and Law Electives for the Law programme. The project should integrate both Business and Law in order to achieve a balance between the learning objectives of both fields.

The iFSP will be conducted by the Business School. Once the project is in place, the Business School will source for the supervisor. However, while the Business School will try to source for projects for iFSP (similar to what it does in relation to FSP), students should try to source for their own projects. Projects sourced by the Business School may not fit student timelines or may not be suitable and thus the latter option is preferable. It must also be stressed that the Business School does not guarantee that a suitable project would be found. This is a concession and not a right. If a suitable project cannot be found, students would have to do a normal business FSP and 2 level-4 law modules in replacement.

The integrated project has to focus on both business and legal issues. These issues may be related or unrelated. Word limits, assessments as well as other iFSP criteria are similar to a regular FSP offered to Business students. Given its very specialized nature, the number of students within a group is flexible, though there needs to be approval as to the final number.
