Application for NUS/NTU Medicine 2020/2021
-
YLL of course
-
LkC and NUS MBBS no difference in degree context.
The syllabus is important to take note
because NUS learns everything normal in the body in year 1, everything abnormal in the body in year 2 and then year 3-5 is clinical postings.
NTU is by systems, so u will have clinical postings from year 1 onwards, but u won’t learn everything in the body till u finish your 5 years.
The biggest benefit of NUS medicine is cadavers, because the anatomy of the body in textbooks is super different from what you would see in real humans.
It will help a lot in anatomy and trying to figure stuff out in the future during surgical postings .
For NTU medicine the good thing is team based learning , so if you prefer that learning style then NTU.
NTU is ipad cadaver.Digital one.
NTU if you go its a lot of home based learning because the lectures all online,
So discipline is important.
It also emphasise a lot on team based learning, so a lot of discussion. -
LKC x imperial college joint degree no use.
Because this one will not let u practise medicine in uk
Not recognised in UK
Also not much use for specializing overseas because most people will specialize first in singapore.
The above information is given by the 4th year YLL student. Please consider yourself, the above correctness can not be verified by my capability. -
That’s useful information!
We had both offers and accepted YLL. -
All our local universities - NUS YLLSoM, NTU LKCSoM and Duke-NUS are good Medical Schools that produce high calibre doctors. They are all doing God’s work on medical calling after getting their MBBS degree. Thanks to all these great universities that trained them. Our statements here might prejudice against the universities and those students studying there. We must honor and give due respect to these universities as our children are studying there.
The admission officers are still making decisions about the waitlist. I believe our kids are waiting anxiously and really appreciate our support and prayers. Let us pray for them.
May God shine His heavenly face upon them, may all of their dreams and wishes come true. May they use their talents and wisdoms to serve our country, Singapore and society at large for the greater good.
Amen. -
YLL LKC are Top good universities in the world. It is our kids’ highest honor to study medicine there

I have no doubt about Imperial. Apart from the fact that YLL has very established alumni, close interaction with NUS nursing and slightly cheaper school fees, my biggest concern with LKC is when Imperial pulls out, then it becomes another SUTD after MIT pull out. The biggest draw for SUTD was MIT.
The risk of Imperial pulling out increases in the face of covid and brexit. I am not having my kid take such a risk. -

I am sure your fears are unwarranted. I agree that time changes things and may not be always the same but we still need a school to train doctors.

Besides NUS and NTU, we still have Duke-NUS. It may happen that one day either school would opt to conduct and offer Medicine as MD pathway instead of MBBS. Australia is one good example. Nothing is guaranteed or to remain unchange forever. -
You can go ahead and take such a risk. Duke-NUS is a completely different model.

I think even ICL pull out -which there is nothing to suggest they will for the foreseeable future-, it will not render LKC a less qualify med school. Fact is, none of LKC nor YLL med degree will qualify the graduates to practice overseas. It is not recognised anywhere other than in SG. Even if ICL pull out from LKC, a med degree from LKC is still recognise by MOH. There is not much different as far as MOH is concerned, not when they readily accept doctors from countries such as India, Myanmar, Philippine etc if they meet the requirements.
