Degree Requirement (2011/12)


University Scholars Programme (E-Commerce)

Students in the University Scholars Programme who choose the Bachelor of Computing (E-Commerce) major will take the E-Commerce programme, but with the following variations:

  • They will not be required to read University Level Requirements (20 MCs). (These are replaced by the appropriate First-Tier Scholars Modules.)
  • They will not be required to read IS2101 Business and Technical Communication. (It is replaced by Writing and Critical Thinking module of First -Tier Scholars Modules.)
  • They will have 8 (instead of 20) MCs under Unrestricted Electives.
  • They will read UROP modules CP3208 and CP3209 in place of the EC team project module (IS4102). CP3208 and CP3209 are independent study modules (ISMs) and they will also be counted as two of the four Advanced Scholars Modules (8 MCs).
  • They will be required to take 44 MCs (11 modules) from the Programme Electives. Among these modular credits, at least 12 MCs (3 modules) must be at level-4000.

Note:

* : Students will be encouraged to use their unrestricted electives to take industrial-related modules, such as CP3200 Internship and CP3201 Industry Seminar. They will also be encouraged to use their unrestricted electives to take modules that will build up their business domain knowledge. Having a strong knowledge of a business domain will provide EC graduates a favorable advantage in employment opportunity in the industry.
