Single-Honours Double Degree in BBA (Hons) and BA Economics Programme

Notes

1. It is not compulsory for DDP students to specialise 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. Pursuing a business specialisation may involves reading extra modules in order to fulfil the specialisation's requirements. Students in this DDP are not allowed to specialise in Business Economics. Business students who withdraw from DDP are still required to pursue a specialisation.
   
2. USP/U-Town students are not required to read FAS1101. USP/UTown students may replace FAS1101 with UWC2101, UTW1001, or UTW2001. USP students who are in this DDP are also exempted from reading FAS1102 (which also replaces ES2002) because USR4002A Intellectual Responsibility in a Complex World is considered to be equivalent to FAS1102. In the event that you exit from USP without having read UW2101% or USR4002A, you would need to read FAS1101 and FAS1102 respectively. FAS1101 will count towards only the FASS degree's requirement and its CAP, while FAS1102 will double-count towards both the FASS and Business degrees' respective requirements and CAPs.
   
3. Business (home faculty) students who are admitted into the DDP after the first year of studies are also required to read FAS1101 (except those mentioned in Note 2) and FAS1102. However, if they have already read ES2002 prior to joining the DDP, they do not need to read FAS1102 as ES2002 will be considered the common module (replacing FAS1102).
4. Business (home faculty) students who withdraw from the DDP and return to the BBA/BBA(H) single degree programme are required to read ES2002 even if they have completed FAS1101 or FAS1102 or both. Business students who have read UWC2101 or ES1601 do not need to read ES2002.
5. Students in this DDP need not read and pass GET1031A Computational Thinking to fulfil the University’s Computational Thinking requirement although this is an identified module for FASS students. This is because BIZ core module DAO2702 Programming for Business Analytics will fulfil the requirement. Therefore, please take steps to choose another GET module to fulfil your GET pillar requirement. The grade and credits of DAO2702 will count towards the BBA degree requirement only.
   
   DDP students whose home faculty is FASS – in the event that you exit from the DDP and have not read the identified Computational Thinking module offered by Business (ie DAO2702), you would need to read GET1031A. This will likely be counted towards your unrestricted elective requirement and may potentially be an excess module, if you have already read another GET module. Do note that for excess modules read, the grades will still be factored into your CAP.
   
   DDP students whose home faculty is Business – there is no impact if you were to exit from the DDP as DAO2702 is the core requirement of your Business degree. Please read a GET module other than GET1031A to fulfil your Thinking & Expression pillar.
6. EC1301 can only be used to satisfy the UE requirement but not the Social Sciences exposure requirements. Hence, DDP students have to read another Social Sciences exposure module (such as NM1101E or PL110E or SC1101E) to complete the FASS’ faculty core requirements.
