Notes:
- Students must read either Professional Internship (PH4420) or a 20-week Overseas Entrepreneurship Programme (OEP) to fulfill the ICC-FC requirement.
- A minimum CGPA of 4.50 and a grade of A- or better in the Final Year Project are required to be eligible for Honours (Highest Distinction). A minimum CGPA of 4.00 and a 'Pass' grade in the Final Year Project are required to be eligible for Honours (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.
