Year 1 semester 2 and ACC2002 in Year 2 semester 1.
**Half the students are allocated Subset A (BSP2001, MNO2007 and DSC2006) in Year 2 semester 1 and Subset B (ACC3601, ACC3603 and ACC3605) in
Year 2 semester 2. The other half are allocated Subset B in Year 2 semester 1 and subset A in Year 2 semester 2.

reason, then you must find another student willing to do a complete swap with you of his/her timeslots for the same subset B modules as well
as FIN2004. (PS: If you are given subset A but the timeslots are not your preference, this is beyond the Accounting department as the
modules are offered by other departments. Check with BBA Office directly for changes.)
The reason that dropping of modules and individual swaps are disallowed is because time tabling is planned based on subsets and the
assumption that students follow the respective assigned subsets. Hence if you move out of your assigned subset for even one module, there is
a high chance of a time table clash (and maybe exam clash) either in semester 1 or, more importantly, in subsequent semesters. You may
create a problem for yourself (including delayed graduation) in future by changing your pre-allocations currently.
(b) Students going for exchange in semester 1 are strongly encouraged to map FIN2004 and the subset A modules (or any uncompleted core
modules).
(c) Students going for exchange in semester 2 are pre-allocated FIN2004 + the subset B modules. The same points stated in point 5(a) above
apply.

For students who miss out on securing SEP during AY14/15, you still have a chance for SEP in year 3 semester 1 provided you are an
honours student, or are prepared to extend at least one more semester if non-honours student. You will then shift your Year 3 semester 1
ACC3xxx modules to Year 4 semester 1.
Based on the experience of previous exchange students, it is better to choose a partner university at the BIZ faculty level rather than at the
University level. This will give you a better chance of finding good overseas modules to map to our modules.
9. Honours (subject to change)
If you are offered honours, the general advice is to pursue it because you will acquire more knowledge and you can hone your analytical and
consulting skills further. An honours degree also signals higher potential, ceteris paribus.
To get the BBA (Acc.) Honours, you need to complete the usual honours requirement applicable to the BBA degree. For BBA (Acc.) 14 (and
BBA14) students: You are required to complete a compulsory team-based Field Study Project (FSP), and this is equivalent to two level 4000
modules. You are also required to complete a thesis or replace it with three level 4000 modules. The thesis needs to be in the area of
accounting or finance; for replacement modules, at least two of them must be in the area of accounting or finance. Finally, you have to
complete five unrestricted elective modules (UEs) [poly graduates need to complete only 2 UEs].

Thus, you need to plan ahead to spread out the FIN modules but you must at the same time ensure you do not significantly disrupt the ACC
module sequence. The general guideline is to finish the three compulsory FIN3xxx modules as early as possible. You may map finance
modules for SEP. (Note: If you follow this general guideline, it may mean that you have to drop some of the pre-allocated ACC3000 level
modules. This requires proof that you will plan subsequent modules to ensure graduation, before approval to drop can be granted. The advice
is to drop non-ACC modules first to avoid disrupting the ACC module sequence.)
