Double Degree And Second Majors

TESTIMONIAL

“SMU offers its students maximum flexibility in charting their own degree progression. With a curriculum that allows for graduation in as short as three years or up to five years for a double-degree programme, students benefit from the opportunity to manage our own learning experience and maximise what we want most out of our education.”

SoA students can add breadth to their learning by augmenting their accounting education with knowledge from other disciplines.

DOUBLE DEGREES

The majority of SoA students graduate with either a double degree or a second major which makes them more attractive to employers and provides more versatility in their career choices. SMU BAcc students can choose to graduate with a double degree by combining the Accountancy discipline with either Business Management, Computing & Information Systems, Economics, Law* or Social Sciences disciplines. Upon successful completion, students receive two degree certificates.

  • Prospective students with outstanding academic results may apply for direct entry to the double degree programme.

  • Our current students currently enrolled in a single degree programme and who display exceptional results in their first or second year, can also opt for the double degree programme.

If successful, students can take courses from both programmes they are enrolled in concurrently. There is no pre-set order in which one has to complete the required courses and a student can complete the double degree programme in a minimum of 4 years.

*To do a double degree programme at the Yong Pung How School of Law, a student must first be offered admission into the Yong Pung How School of Law.
