A New Chapter Frame

The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, part of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), is training doctors who put patients at the centre of their exemplary care. The School, which offers both undergraduate and graduate programmes, is named after local philanthropist Tan Sri Dato Lee Kong Chian. Officially opened on 28 August 2017 by the then Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore Mr Teo Chee Hean, LKCMedicine aims to be a model for innovative medical education and a centre for transformative research. The School’s primary clinical partner is the National Healthcare Group, a leader in public healthcare recognised for the quality of its medical expertise, facilities and teaching.

Graduates of the five-year undergraduate medical degree programme that started in 2013 will have a strong understanding of the scientific basis of medicine, with an emphasis on technology, data science and the humanities. The School’s first doctors graduated in 2018 with Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degrees. While our MBBS degree was initially awarded jointly with Imperial College London, NTU Singapore now confers this degree, building upon the strong foundation established during our exceptionally successful collaboration.
