Description

For Pre-University Students

Pathways to Duke-NUS Medicine
Thinking about where to attend university, what to study and what career path to pursue can be as overwhelming as it is exciting – especially when you have varied interests!

Though you may think studying literature, music or finance would make a career in medicine impossible, that simply isn’t the case – at least, not at Duke-NUS Medical School.

At Duke-NUS, we not only recognise that people are passionate about multiple disciplines, but value that passion and the variety of skills that come with a wide range of academic backgrounds. That’s why we have partnered with five universities to establish a variety of pathways that allow students to pursue undergraduate studies in an academic area of their choosing while also looking forward to a career in medicine:

NUS Engineering & Medicine Track
Duke & Duke-NUS Special Pathway
SUTD-Duke-NUS Special Track
SMU-Duke-NUS Medicine Pathway
King's College-Duke-NUS Academic Clinician Pathway
NTU-Duke-NUS Medicine Pathway

Scholarship and Financial Aid Schemes

We understand the challenge of financing a medical education and strive to help our students tap on available resources to meet their financial needs. Depending on individual’s financial circumstances and academic performance, students may apply for any one or any combination of the three financing options available - tuition fee loan, bursary and merit scholarship. About two-thirds of our students are on some form of financial aid. The exact quantum of financial aid extended to a student varies, depending on the financial circumstances of the student, their immediate family members and spouse (where applicable).

Requirement/Conditions

Successful students will graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) degree at NUS followed by a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree at Duke-NUS Medical School.
