Note 1:Â It is not compulsory for DDP students to do a specialisation for the BBA degree. Students who wish to specialise in a business area may have to read extra modules to meet the respective specialisation requirement. DDP students whose home faculty is Business will be required to do a specialisation if they withdraw from the DDP and return to the single degree programme in Business.
Note 2: ES2531 Critical Thinking & Writing replaces ES2002 Business Communication for Leaders (BBA). It will be replaced by UWC2101% (for USP students), ES1601 (for RVRC students), and UTW2001% (for UTCP students). DDP students from Computer Engineering will need to read ES2002 if they are not in USP, RVRC or UTCP.
