It doesn't make alot of sense that Bio is not needed to study medicine. Wondering what is the logic behind this. Even if it is not mandatory, I suppose those with Bio will have added advantage if they apply to medical schools, either locally or overseas.

and having studied Bio would have an edge over someone who has not

Out of curiosity, I searched for a couple of UK schools admission criteria for medicine, and here’s what I get :


Oxford university - Medicine entrance requirements
• A-levels: AAA
Excluding Critical Thinking and General Studies.
Candidates must have Chemistry (compulsory), plus Biology and/or Physics and/or Mathematics to full A-level.

University of Dundee
GCE A-level : AAA (excluding General Studies)
Essential subjects : Chemistry and another Science (SQA Higher, GCE A-Level, ILC Higher or IB Higher Level) and Biology at Standard Grade

how about US and Aussie ?

during my time, triple science is called medicine combination in JC

In US, medicine is a graduate course. Not sure about Australia.

Can someone share more about bicultural studies? I have read all the information from MOE website but would like to know more about the topics they study and the projects they are doing, is Chinese lit or history difficult to manage n if those China immersion trips compulsory.


What makes one choose bcp over other program? Is it a waste to give up the chance to study 3 sciences if one is scoring A+ for science n maths for sec 3 subject combinations?

Thanks!

Hoping to revive this thread, any new development that anyone can share ?

Thank you!

hi, does anyone know how many students in BSP for year 3 in 2022 in DHS? and is it true that you can’t take triple science in year 5&6 when you are in BSP in DHS. need clarification here . thanks 🙏

Hi. I don't think a student will be able to take triple science anywhere in Year 5 and 6. There are only four A Level subject classes, and one of them has to be contrasting. Hence, it is (often) Math + Chem + Physics or Bio + Contrasting for the Science kids. If one takes BSP in Sec 3 and Sec 4, the Contrasting subject in JC could be CSC (China Studies in Chinese).

I do not know if DHS allows triple science + BSP in upper secondary. For reference, HCI does not.

SCGS and SNGS allow triple Science + BSP in upper sec.

[rhinotroy]

dear doodbug, may i ask how roughly how many students in BSP for year 3 in SCGS and SNGS? is it like 30 students or 50 students? is it by invitation by HCL teachers due to students Chinese is more powderful? my child class in year 2 majority of them DO NOT like HCL and he is the only one expressing interest for BSP during the june subject combination survey. i understood the students also need to go for a couple rounds of interviews before being selected to study BSP. is it the same in SCGS and SNGS ?
