Accountancy Nanyang Technological University

Overview

Key facts

• Experiential Semester Programme (ESP)

• To provide students with a competitive edge in the job market, Nanyang Technological University is introducing the option to allow Accounting students to take up a semester-long internship and still be able to complete their program in the usual time span of 3 years. This will place our accounting students on a more leveled playing field with their peers.
• With this ESP model, B. Accountancy students can opt for six-months’ internship in any semester after completing Year 2 Semester 1.
• Discovery-based learning
• Teaching and learning in the classroom is highly interactive, and you will take responsibility for your own learning by actively contributing through class participation, discussions and project presentations. Real-world cases and projects are emphasised to enable you to bridge theory with dynamic practice. Our programme creates discovery-based learning environments through seminar-style teaching to facilitate students' active learning, with professors serving as facilitators and mentors. Through these active learning methods, you will acquire strong competencies in effective teamwork and communication. This approach, with its focus on critical thinking and problem-solving, also equips you with analytical skills to handle unstructured, complex and strategic challenges in business. This radically new way of teaching accounting is the result of Project Discovery (PD), a partnership with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which runs the US’ top accounting programme.
