Residency Requirements Candidature and degree programme or 80 MCs, whichever is greater, at NUS. In addition, such students are required to read at least 15 MCs every semester throughout their candidature except during the following semesters when they are allowed to read fewer MCs: the final semester before completion of all graduating requirements for the degree; and the semester during which the students are undergoing industrial attachment or doing their final year projects. For students admitted from AY2007/08 onwards, the maximum candidature for: a Bachelors degree programme with a minimum requirement of 120 MCs is four years; a Bachelors degree with Honours programme with a minimum requirement of 160 MCs is five years; a typical double degree programme (which may involve between 180 and 200 MCs) is six years. For details regarding maximum candidature for students admitted prior to AY 2007/08, please consult the faculties concerned for details. In general, students who have completed their degree requirements, by the sixth semester or earlier for 120-MC programmes and the eighth semester or earlier for 180MC programmes, may be allowed one additional full semester of study to improve their CAP standing, subject to their reading: the minimum MCs required for full-time students (i.e. 15 MCs) in the additional full semester.* only Level-3000 or higher Level modules Additionally, students shall not be allowed to opt for a new Minor, Second Major or Second Degree programme beyond the end of the fifth semester of study. * This criterion will not be applicable if the semester of extension falls during the Special Term. Continuation and graduation requirements Minimum standards are set for continuation and graduation requirements. Maximum CAP for Continuation and Graduation The University has established a minimum residency requirement and maximum candidature for all NUS degrees, including joint and double degrees with foreign universities. Residency, in this instance, is defined as payment of fees and ability to meet all curricular requirements of the programme of study. MCs which count towards residency for an undergraduate degree programme must come from graded modules that are factored into a students CAP. Undergraduate Programmes A student registered for a Bachelors degree, as mentioned earlier, must complete 50% of the required MCs for the 96 To graduate, an undergraduate student must have a minimum CAP of 2.0. To remain in good academic standing, and to continue in an undergraduate programme of study, a student may not have: CAP below 2.0 (but 1.5 for three consecutive semesters; or CAP below 1.5 for two consecutive semesters. For any semester in which the students CAP falls below 2.0 (but 1.5), that student will be issued an academic warning. Probation will follow if, in the following semester, the students CAP again falls below 2.0. If the students CAP remains below 2.0 for the third consecutive semester, the student will be issued a letter of dismissal by Passed with Merit Passed 3.2 and above 2.0 to 3.19 Leave of absence Students may be granted leave for periods of absence from the University. For undergraduates, such leaves of absence is normally not counted against the maximum candidature of the programme pursued by the student concerned. For graduate students, leave of absence is counted against their maximum candidature. For graduate students in coursework programmes, up to one years leave of absence may be excluded from the count against their maximum candidature. This exclusion is applicable to all graduate students in coursework with effect from Semester 2, AY 2007/08. Leave of absence may be granted for the following reasons: Medical reasons Students are required to submit a medical certificate from 97 FASS GI B.B.A./ B.B.A. (Acc.) Graduate students should also note that if the leave period results in a student exceeding the maximum candidature, the student will also need to apply for an extension of candidature to cover the leave period and the additional time to complete the thesis. There is no automatic extension of candidature to account for the period of leave. In addition, should the student submit his/her thesis for examination during the leave period or during the semester immediately after the period of leave, the student will have to pay fees for one semester. It is the students responsibility to notify their departments/course instructors regarding absences from scheduled academic activities. Students who are absent for an extended period without first obtaining approval for leave will be regarded as being absent without permission and are liable to have their registration status terminated. Students granted leaves of absence are required to vacate their hostel accommodation during the period of leave. The Office of Student Affairs (OSA) will re-assess hostel applications of students returning from leave of absence. During official university examination periods, no leave will be granted.

If students apply for leaves of absence after the relevant fee payment deadline, they may be liable to pay fees for the entire semester. Students contemplating applying for leaves of absence are strongly advised to consult their Department or faculty advisor on the possible impact on their course of study. If, during the period of leave of absence, rules relating to his/her candidature are amended, the student must expect to be governed under the amended rules upon return from leave. Leave may be granted for students to participate in activities such as competitions, sports, seminars, and community services, to start-up a company or to attend to personal matters. GMS Degree and Honours Classification Personal reasons LKYSPP Leave of absence granted for academic reasons is generally to facilitate student exchange with other universities, and internships either local or overseas. NGS Such a student may appeal the dismissal if there are extenuating circumstances. The appeal must be submitted to the relevant Faculty/Department within two calendar weeks of the last day of the release of each semesters examination results. Normally, every student is allowed only one such appeal per candidature. If the appeal is rejected, the student will not be re-admitted. If the outcome of the appeal is positive, the student will be given one semester in which to achieve the minimum CAP required for continuation and graduation.

All third- and fourth-level modules adopt the sectional teaching format, whereby both lectures and tutorials are incorporated within each class meeting. The teaching methods applied vary from module to module. Whichever approach is adopted, the aim is to develop each students knowledge of the modules as well as analytical, research and presentational skills. There is a balance of case discussions, small group discussions, computer-simulated games, individual and group projects, quizzes, essay writing, presentations, lectures by guest speakers, etc. Students will be assessed through a combination of these class work components throughout the semester known as Continuous Assessment (CA) and the end-of-semester examination. Some modules are assessed based on 100% CA with no end-of-semester examination. The different teaching methods enable students to gain both theoretical and practical skills in a lively and interesting way. 3.3 Level of Modules Any 4 of the following Level-1000 modules: - MNO1001 Management and Organisation - ACC1002/ACC1002X Financial Accounting - MKT1003 Principles of Marketing - BSP1004 Legal Environment of Business - BSP1005 Managerial Economics 16 Level-2000 Any 4 of the following Level-2000 modules: - BSP2001 Macro and International Economics - ACC2002 Managerial Accounting - DSC2003 Management Science - FIN2004 Finance - BSP2005 Asia Pacific Business, Ethics and Society - DSC2006 Operations Management - TR2201 Entrepreneurial Marketing - TR2202 Technological Innovation - MNO2311 Leadership in Organisation - MKT2401 Asian Markets and Marketing Management 16 Level-3000 or above Four Level-3000/4000 modules as follows: (a) At least one from any 2 different areas below: - Finance: FIN3101 Corporate Finance or FIN3102 Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management - Ops. & SCM: DSC3201 Supply Chain Management or DSC3203 Service Management: MNO3301 Operations Management - Organisational Behaviour or MNO3303 Organisational Effectiveness - Marketing: MKT3402 Consumer Behaviour or 16 3.3.1 Double (Second) Major in Management Programme The Business School offers the Major in Management Programme (Mgt Major), a Double (second) Major as part of NUS Special Undergraduate Programmes, for students from all other faculties and schools.

The education complements the technical knowledge that the students have received, by exposing them to the approaches for exploiting such technical knowledge. This will enhance the graduates contributions to the economy by equipping them with knowledge of the processes and mechanisms by which the following Double Degree Programme in Business Administration and Law (jointly offered with the Faculty of Law) Business Administration and Law are, in some areas, related and complementary disciplines. The existence of such double degree programmes at most leading universities in Australia testifies to this. Moreover, there is an increasing body of work that either draws upon the methodologies or examines the intersections of the two disciplines. The aim of the programme is to produce graduates who are trained in both disciplines, who understand the intersections between the two disciplines, and who possess the broad knowledge of the welleducated university graduate. There is a particular and pressing reason for establishing such a programme in Singapore. The country is currently working to consolidate and extend its status as a regional centre for legal services. Much of the international legal work undertaken here involves commercial, corporate and financial law. As employment in these sectors increase, there will be a corresponding increase in the demand for lawyers with a strong background in Business Administration and Business graduates trained in Law. For more information on double degree programme, please refer to Part II, section Q. 101 Likewise, in todays converging media environment, communication professionals are expected to have a broad range of knowledge and creative skills from critical thinking and excellent writing to the ability to create publications, websites and other interactive environments. Combined with modules in new media and communication management, CNMs modules in visual and game design seek to enrich students experience and prepare them for this converging field. The NUS Business programme prepares students for managerial leadership in the global economy. Its broadbased curriculum benefits from the comprehensive academic breadth and intellectual intensity of our national university. Articulate students that embrace technology will find good fit in this CNM and Business double degree programme that promises to nurture an attractive breed of media-savvy business professionals.

There will be four modules which are being taught; Microeconomics, Econometrics, Optimisation and Data Analysis. The class time for each module is one and a half hrs. Classes of different time slots are conducted on a daily basis on Monday to Friday for these three weeks. Summer Paper: To help the Ph.D. students kick-start their research early, a summer paper requirement will be introduced into the program. All first-year students (starting from the AY06/07 cohort) will be required to submit a summer paper at the end of their study in Year 1. Coursework: Ph.D. students take a total of 10-12 doctoral level courses. Some of these courses are core courses conducted by the department. The remaining courses are electives conducted in other departments or faculties. For instance, students frequently take their electives in statistics, economics, sociology, psychology, computer science and industrial engineering. For students who have no background in business studies, they are also required to take two MBA courses to help them gain a broader perspective in business. Qualifying Examination: After finishing their coursework, the students appear for a qualifying examination, usually at the end of the second year. A qualifying examination is a comprehensive test of the students knowledge of the field and is made up of paper(s) set by the department. Passing the qualifying examination is the signal for the student to embark on the dissertation. Year 3: Proposal Defence: After clearing the qualifying examination, the doctoral student begins to put together a proposal for the thesis. The proposal is an original idea for investigation put forth by the candidate, after an extensive study of the topic. The student is expected to detail the research question and also provide an outline of the study design. The proposal needs to be defended before the thesis committee and other examiners.
