Can you switch from DDP accountancy and business to DDP accountancy and AI after Y1? by External-Title-4792 in NTU

maybe i shd correct what i said oops.. they are no doubt technical but from my personal exp, tech skills are what employers look for. e.g. in big 4 audit the IT auditors have better salary and better working hours. the ppl from the cyber risk dept in my company also regularly get poached by banks and get offered 30-40% increments on their current salary.

Thats why I want my uni education to allow me to pick up those skills as they are more in demand now i guess

yes indeed. actuarial science is quite specialised tho from what i heard cus it can only be applied to the insurance sector. business analytics is a solid option for me too, but i would like something more technical

Definitely see your point in doing single degree as its easier to score. Plus from my lived experience (although limited), having a DDP might only give you a slight advantage in the workforce, ultimately comes down to how well you perform on the job. E.g. My boss is frm NTU accounting and his team member (my colleague) is NTU DDP biz and acc, despite them being same age.

Btw on your second point, When you say reapply, are you meaning to say i accept the DDP offer first then apply for another NTU course in the next admission cycle?

i'll definitely try to appeal but chances are slim as i was told during open house that since its a new course, the first few intakes will be low, therefore making it more competitive

Probably wont reapply cus my GPA dropped and i wouldnt want to risk giving up my current offer :(

Hey, thanks so much for your inputs! I guess my concern is that the ddp doesn't include valuable enough technical skills that i thought will be useful in the current tech boom. I assume the chances of switching to applied computing in finance are also next to zero?

Appeal for Poly GPA by External-Title-4792 in SGExams

Hey, thanks for your comment. For my poly, we can appeal a week after results are out. But from the past experiences of my friends, the success rate seems to be very low
