Life Sciences Major
is
the
one undergraduate course
for all Life Sciences and Biology disciplines in National University of Singapore (NUS) under NUS Life
Sciences Program. This undergraduate program gives students the
foundation essential to all modern Life Sciences disciplines,
with a curriculum that is broad-based and integrated while at
the same time streamlined and flexible, and bench work skills are taught in
dedicated, state-of-the-art teaching laboratories.
1 Major, 3
Specialisations to choose from!
The NUS Life Sciences
curriculum is structured to provide a common, broad-based
foundation in the first two years of study in Life Sciences
Major. From Year 3 onwards, you can choose from three
Specialisations to advance in your study track -
Biomedical Science (BMS) focuses on human health and
diseases;
Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) emphasises the
fundamental mechanisms of all living organisms;
Biology (BIO) affirms the importance of ecology and
environmental conservation.
4-Year
B.Sc. (Hons.) and 3-Year B.Sc. Degrees
NUS Life Sciences offers
4-year Bachelor of Science (Honours) and 3-year Bachelor of
Science degrees.
B.Sc. (Hons.) in
Life Sciences (with specialisation in Biomedical Science)
B.Sc. (Hons.) in Life Sciences (with specialisation in
Molecular and Cell Biology)
B.Sc. (Hons.) in Life Sciences (with specialisation in
Biology)
B.Sc. in Life Sciences
We also offer the Life
Sciences course as a 2nd Major and Minor to all NUS
undergraduates.
