The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine offers a five-year undergraduate programme leading to a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree (MBBS) awarded by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore). The School was first established in 2010, jointly set up by NTU Singapore and Imperial College London. By 2028, our partnership with Imperial would have reached a successful conclusion, but our curriculum – now further enhanced to include themes such as precision medicine, AI in healthcare and expanded scope in medical humanities – has been drawn extensively from the world-renowned medical curriculum of Imperial, and leverages the strengths of NTU in biomedical sciences, engineering and humanities. Graduates from our five-year undergraduate MBBS programme will have a strong understanding of the scientific basis of medicine, with an emphasis on technology, data science and the humanities.
