Programme Structure / 2015 Cohort

##: 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.

Notes

  1. For students who wish to specialise in finance, FIN3102 will be read and double counted to business essential module and Economics Elective Major Module. Students will read 196MCs in total.

    For students who choose not to specialize at all, but choose to read FIN3102, FIN3102 will be double counted and students will read a total of 196MCs. If students do not read FIN3102, they will read 200MCs like the rest of the other specializations.
  2. Business students who are admitted into DDP in Economics and Business after their first year of study would have already read BSP1005 Managerial Economics, and hence are not required to read EC1101E Introduction to Economic Analysis. Students are required to read another 4MC Social Sciences Exposure Module in lieu of EC1101E.
  3. FASS’s students who are admitted into DDP in Economics and Business via mid-stream will be waived from reading DSC1007 Business Analytics – Models & Decisions in the list of compulsory common modules for all DDP students. Instead, the compulsory modules that these students will read are EC2303 Foundations for Econometrics and EC3303 Econometrics I. EC3303 Econometrics I will be classified as a common module to count towards both degrees.

    Direct entry students must read DSC1007 and NOT EC2303, as DSC1007 will replace EC2303 for this DDP.
