Students with no prior exposure to accounting and finance are required to study and pass a specialised pre-masters module (remedial course) with zero-credit. The module will cover two core concentrations of Accounting and Finance, namely, Principles Accounting and Principles of Finance and thus provide students from a non-accounting and finance background a smooth transition into the proposed programme. The module will be offered in an intensive mode. The pre-master’s module will be assessed by a written exam with pass or fail. Only students who pass the remedial module will be allowed to register for credit bearing modules on the FRM programme.
A student with a GPA of 2.5 to 2.99 will be conditionally admitted upon the programme tutor approval and an IELTS score of 5.5 (TOEFL 530, 71 iBT), or its equivalent in a standardised English language test approved by the Ministry of Education – Higher Education Affairs is required.
A student with a GPA of 2.0 to 2.49 should have at least two years of relevant work experience after graduation and are required to take a maximum of nine graduate-level credit hours as remedial preparation for the Postgraduate Diploma or Masters Programmes during the period of conditional admission and must achieve a minimum CGPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or its equivalent, in these credit hours of remedial courses. An IELTS score of 5.5 (TOEFL 530, 71 iBT), or its equivalent in a standardised English language test approved by the Ministry of Education – Higher Education Affairs may be provisionally admitted to the programme.
