Yes, to study medicine in NUS, one does not need Bio at A Level, but Chem is needed.
Just for info, may be not relevant, is it true to study medicine at Uni does not require H2 Bio ? anyone can confirm ?daisyt:
wonderm, thanks for your advices and pointers to take note.
Give up bio for BSP is a requirement. One can only select two Sciences if choose BSP. -

I think only nursing and pharmacy requires H2 Bio. -

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.

There must be a good reason why Chem is needed, but not Bio? Maybe those who did medicine in Uni can better understand the rationale.

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 -

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!
