What is the minimum requirement for entry to uni? :?

You can easily go to the university website and check. Forexample for NUS, then
http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/apply/apply.html

Click for the prospectus for A level students. Then , in the prospectus, under content page you will the pages for Admission Requirement.

Generally speaking, it is a pass in 2H2 and GP/KI in one sitting. And MTL at least D7. However, admission is based on competition each year and satisfying the above criteria does not guarantee admission. That is why, the university also published the admission grade profiles for each faculty which is also in the propectus.

Rosecy, RV no offer KI? I thought someone told me, KI is for better students who excel in GP. What is actually KI?

Students take either GP or KI (Knowledge & Inquiry). RV only offers GP currently.

You don't need Biology for Medicine.

yes. sorry to butt in, but yup, Bio was taken out as a reqmt for medicine in 2004 or 2005.

had students with chem n phy get in before. but of course, the majority in the med fac in nus had taken bio. the fac just doesnt want to lose talent from the pool that didnt take bio.

Thank all for the reply...So, look like it is not really a compusory subject for any Uni course

Really good to know as DS is quite determined not to take Bio elective for his Y3 next year :roll:

Well, didn't want him do Medicine but hope that he won't be rejected on his preferred Uni Course because of that :xedfingers:[/quote]Updating my own questions in case someone out there also interested to know : )

Read from NUS site:
1) Pharmacy has Biology as a prerequisites.
2) Bioengineering need student to take Biology Bridging Module if do not have a H2 pass in Biology. Not sure does it mean must have it at the 1st place but guess so.
