Notes:

  • Students must read either Professional Internship (PH4420​) or a 20-week Overseas Entrepreneurship Programme (OEP) to fulfill the ICC-FC requirement.
  • A grade of A- or better in the Final Year Project is required to be eligible for Honours (Highest Distinction).
  • All common core and graduate level courses cannot be mapped to exchange courses. PH4XXX courses can only be mapped to exchange courses as BDE, unless the exchange course is a graduate-level course. Please refer to this page for more information.

Second Major Courses

To be awarded the Second Major in Entrepreneurship, students must read a minimum total of 25 AU as Broadening and Deepening Electives (BDEs), comprising:

  • 4 core courses (4 courses x 3 AU = 12 AU).
  • A minimum total of 13 AU from elective courses.

The list of courses can be found here.

Broadening & Deepening Electives

Beyond the Second Major courses, students may read any Broadening & Deepening Electives (BDEs) offered by any School in NTU. The following physics-specific BDE may be read by interested students:
