Sorry, sorry... must be my stupid aversion to anything biology that warped my thinking. By the way, does biology automatically links to medicine? Noob here.

Yes, congrats to NUSHies.

A credit in O level Biology is a MUST for applying the post of nurse trainee during my time (in 1990).

Just happen to read this thread. During matriculation, we were told the Dean of Medicine at NUS also sits in the Board of Governors at NUS High. So you can see the strong link there.

It’s the only IP/JC where the students can continue with Triple Science Major (with Math as compulsory Major). No school is able to offer All 3 sciences at H3 level.


So, you can see that the students can easily clear most subject entry pre requisites into Tertiary paths.

You have also have to add that it is the only Sec/JC/IP where students have gone thru at least 4 years of Computer science courses (if they don’t major with Computer Science as Honours/ or major) who include coding, web technology, data visualisation, AI etc.


You won’t find that in RI or HCI or any other JC/IP. IT is the most complete Maths and Science curriculum in SG

DS graduated last year with CS honours, so I hope I could contribute some numbers (beyond what can be read from the Programme of Studies) for all who are interested in NUS High CS programme.


Only CS1131 is compulsory for all students, one needs to get a “C” grade to take CS2***. Only CS CAP>=4.0 can take CS as 4th Major in Yr 4. And fewer can proceed to honours programme.

For DS cohort, it was 166 (Yr1), 129 (Yr2), 76 (Yr3), 24 (Yr4-6 – CS Major) and I think less than 10 took CS honours. (these numbers are for reference only, it varies from year to year).

It is true that only NUS High can offer an early start for CS studies (up to 2/3 modules at Uni Yr1/2 level). This is the same for all other Science subjects (Math, Physics, Biology & Chemistry). Just let your DS/DD explore and follow their passion.

Dear parents of kids in Nush, my son in P6 this year. He is keen on applying through math/science domain and Nush is his first choice. He generally reads a lot and in recent years enjoys more about science, rather quite advanced science actually. He is in E2K science and Math Olympiad programs in his school, and goes for math and science contest out of his own interest, got couple of medals too. Do you have any inputs for me regarding the admission process.


I am also still trying to narrow down on second and third choice, any inputs in this regard most appreciated!
