The NTU accounting programme is a four-year Bachelor of Accountancy degree that places a strong emphasis on Sustainability Management and Analytics.
This innovative curriculum is designed to give students an interdisciplinary understanding of key economic topics, allowing them to gain professional qualifications at a quicker pace.
Modules such as sustainability reporting, sustainable finance, and artificial intelligence in accounting and finance are part of this trailblazing curriculum.
These subjects aim to prepare your children for the challenges and opportunities of the future, ensuring they remain relevant and competitive in the evolving job market.
Fast-Track to Chartered Accountant Status
One of the significant benefits of the NTU accounting programme is the fast-tracked route to chartered accountant status it provides.
Thanks to exemptions from the Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification (SCAQ), students can become certified professionals much faster than through traditional routes.
This programme doesn’t stop at classroom learning; it also offers a minimum 30-week internship at an Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (Acra) accredited training organization.
This practical experience counts towards the mandatory three-year practical experience needed for qualification as a chartered accountant, making it a win-win situation for your child.

Consequently, they are well-prepared to navigate the future as sector leaders.
Expanding Interdisciplinary Learning
In addition to the NTU accounting programme, 2024 will witness the launch of eight other interdisciplinary degree programmes by NTU.
Aimed at endowing graduates with a diverse and adaptable set of skills, these courses also impart the know-how to apply these skills effectively.
Because of these novel degree programmes that encompass multiple disciplines within traditional and emerging fields, your children gain access to a spectrum of existing and upcoming industries.
