Rules governing double specializations and the FYP

If you are intending to do a double specialization, you must decide which is your main specialization (first specialization), and your second specialization. It is recommended to conduct your Final Year Project in main specialization topic.

Applicable to AY2019 cohort and after

Up to 8 Units may be used to meet (i) the first specialisation requirement and (ii) the second specialisation requirement.

Applicable to AY2018 cohort and before

Another important point is that if you do two specializations, all modules need to be distinct, you cannot double count a module. So ESP5402 is a core for EST, and it will count for your main EST specialization. ESP5402 is an elective module for CES, those who are doing CES as a single specialization can take it as an elective module, but if you are doing EST as your main specialization and CES as your second specialization, you cannot select ESP5402 as part of your CES modules – all specialization modules that you take must be distinct.
