Notes

  1. It is not compulsory for DDP students to specialise in a business area for the BBA degree, but they are still required to complete 20 Units of electives based on the above arrangement. Business students who withdraw from DDP are still required to pursue a specialisation.
  2. Students in this DDP who have read CS2102 and wish to specialise in Business Analytics (BA) for their business degree: please read one more BA specialisation module (in lieu of IT3010).
  3. Biz students are exempt from doing DAO1704 and DAO2702. However, if they exit the DDP programme, they have to read DAO1704 and DAO2702.
  4. Some programme electives of the two degrees are the same. If students in this DDP wish to double‐count them to meet both programmes' requirements, they need to read corresponding number of Unrestricted Electives to meet the shortfall in total Units (which must be at least 160). Excluding the university‐level requirements, the total double‐counting in this DDP combination must not exceed 32 Units.
  5. DDP students who are also in the NUSC programme may count the respective writing and communication module, Thinking with Writing (NTW%), as the equivalent to ES2002 or CS2101.

    Students who withdraw from the DDP without having read Thinking with Writing (NTW) or CS2101/ES2002, must read your own Home Faculty communication course (CS2101 for SoC; ES2002 for BIZ).
  6. Exempted for DDP in general, but may be required to meet any shortfall of Units. The minimum Units for Double Honours DDP is 160 Units.
  7. Due to the many permutations available, students reading this programme will construct a personalised double-degree programme curriculum with the help of the DDP administrators from both schools.
  8. For other general information, please refer to the Double Degree Programme Framework & Guidelines in the Registrar's Office website.
