How to apply:

  1. Minor Entrepreneurship: No application is needed for non-business undergraduates who have not been admitted to the Minor programme at the point of admission to NUS. Interested students may declare the minor before the start of the semester and read the required business courses under Unrestricted Electives.
  2. 2nd Major in Management / Minor in Management: Students who are not offered direct admission to the 2nd Major / Minor in Management may apply for it no later than during their 4th semester of study, but they need to first complete at least 4 BBA/BAC courses (16 Units) of the Minor in Management requirements. All applications are to be in EDUREC. An email blast from Registrar’s Office will be sent to all undergraduates around March/April and October/November informing of the application period to be opened in EDUREC. Please note that the programme is highly competitive and meeting the minimum application requirements does not guarantee an offer of admission.
