This is a programme combining the Biological Sciences (Honours) with Biomedical Structural Biology as a 2nd Major in partnership with Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKC-MED) and the Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry (CBC), School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS). 

At least H1/SL or equivalent pass in Mathematics and a good H2/HL/A Level or equivalent pass in Physics, Chemistry or Biology.

 

This is a full time four-year Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biological Sciences with 2nd major in Biomedical Structural Biology.

During the period of study for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with Biomedical Structural Biology Major, a student must pursue such courses of study as may be prescribed by Regulations made by the Academic Board on the recommendation of the School of Biological Sciences.

For successful completion of the programme and be eligible for graduation, students are required to fulfil the following requirements:

  • Students admitted to the programme in AY2022 to AY2024 should obtain a total of not less than 131 academic units within the maximum period permitted.
  • Students admitted to the programme in AY2021 should obtain a total of not less than 138 academic units within the maximum period permitted, unless a candidate has been granted exemption by the School from taking certain courses, on a case-by-case basis.
  • For students admitted to the programme (From AY2018 to AY2020) should obtain a total of not less than 144 academic units within the maximum period permitted.
  • For students admitted to the programme (in AY2017 and before) should obtain a total of not less than 149 academic units within the maximum period permitted.
  1. Students are required to maintain a CGPA of at least 4.0 throughout their programme. Should a student fail to maintain the required CGPA, the school would recommend to him/her the option to drop the 2nd major and join the standard BS (Hons) programme.
  2. To qualify for the Biomedical Structural Biology Major, students must complete a minimum of:
    • 35 AUs of Biomedical Structural Biology courses for AY2022 intake to AY2024 intake
    • 31 AUs of Biomedical Structural Biology courses for AY2018 to AY2021 intake
    • 35 AUs of Biomedical Structural Biology courses for AY2017 intake and before
