The School has been organising seminars and workshops to help students prepare for the working world. They will learn job search strategies, resume writing, interviewing skills, understanding one’s strengths and job motivations, networking techniques as well as business etiquette and corporate dressing. Such training is now offered to all business students as the BFS1001 Personal Development & Career Management and BFS2001 Personal Development & Career Management modules.

For students who matriculated in AY2015/2016 or later, 4 MCs of the required Unrestricted Electives have been ring-fenced for the compulsory internship module.

Students are highly encouraged to pursue a second specialisation, major or minor with the Unrestricted Elective Modules. Under this component, students may take any modules to fulfil their Unrestricted Elective Modules requirement. That is, they may take modules offered by the School of Business and/or modules offered outside the School to fulfil this requirement.

BBA(ACC) and BBA(ACC Hons.) students must also complete an accounting or finance-related internship. For students who matriculated in AY2015/2016 or later, this will constitute 4 MCs from the unrestricted elective module requirements.

For students who matriculate before AY2017/18, please refer here for more details under the specialisations tab, as similar requirements apply.
