Double Degree Programmes between Department of Real Estate and School of Business
Within the framework of http://bschool.nus.edu.sg/NUSBBA/MultipleDegrees/DoubleDegreeProgram/Adh ocDoubleDegrees/tabid/751/Default.aspx , the following four double degree programmes are available to current NUS undergraduates in BSc (RE) and BBA/BBA(Acc):
(a) BSc(RE)(Hons) + BBA(Hons) (b) BSc(RE)(Hons) + BBA (c) BSc(RE)(Hons) + BBA(Accountancy)(Hons) (d) BSc(RE)(Hons) + BBA(Accountancy)
These programmes combine and synergize the strengths of the two disciplines in Real Estate and Business. Students going through these programmes will acquire core real estate knowledge and competencies that prepare them for professional careers in the real estate industry. At the same time, they will also learn necessary business skills and insights in the areas of organizational behaviour, finance and accounting, marketing, economics, and business law, among others, which prepare them for challenges in the business world. The combination of real estate and business skills will produce a new breed of business-savvy real estate graduates, who will be well sought-after in the increasingly integrated real estate and capital markets.
An applicant must have at least an “AO-level” pass in Mathematics or equivalent.
USP Requirements
A USP Writing and Critical Thinking Module can be taken in lieu of the BSc(RE) essential module ES2007D Professional Communication or the BBA Foundation Module ES2002 Business Communication. Students who want to map other USP modules to the double degree programme should seek the approval of the double degree’s coordination committee.
Minimum Module Requirement
At least 90 MCs of the BSc(RE) and BBA/BBA(Acc.), and at least 100 MCs of the BSc(RE)(Hons) and BBA(Hons)/BBA(Acc.Hons.) must be obtained from NUS modules.
Proportion of Major Requirements Taught by Respective Programmes
At least 72 MCs of the Real Estate Programme Requirements must be taught by the Department of Real Estate; at least 65 MCs and 51 MCs of the BBA(Hons.)/BBA(Acc.Hons.) and BBA/BBA(Acc.) Programmes Requirements respectively must be taught by the School of Business.
