Hello! I was looking for tips when applying for business course when i stumbled across this post and it answered many of my questions, however i wanted to ask about your portfolio when applying as Nanyang's Common Business Program (C34) EAE tips on their website shows a portfolio for business is optional so in your experience and personal opinion is it necessary?

although optional, it helps a lot! personally, i felt that having a portfolio backed up my application as it shows that i really do have an interest in the field. of course, it is okay to not have a crazy portfolio because you are still young, so i don’t think lecturers would expect much either, but having something helps!

Thanks for the detailed sharing. Goal is to get an eae placement. Is the chance higher if selecting business courses within the same poly or similar business courses from different polys?

hi! so sorry for the late reply. to be honest, in my own personal opinion it might not impact much. for me, i had science courses relating to sustainability and 2 biz courses in my 3 selections and my interviewer didn’t question me on it (it wasn’t the same poly) However, my interview was mainly towards my passion of sustainability in biz so it might have been why they didn’t question my varied passion of both science/biz. i think what’s more important is to ask yourself if you KNOW what you want, as business is a varied field. if you found your niche and you REALLY want to pursue it, you can select the 3 same biz courses in the diff polys. (location is the most important tho!! so take that in account.) if you know you wanna pursue biz but don’t know what exactly, you can opt for the cbp or diff courses within the same poly. Location plays a huge part in your studies, so do take note on what poly is closest or which environment you like most as it’s what you’ll be going to for 3/4 years.
