The Biological Sciences (Honours) programme can be combined with a Minor in Business Studies in partnership with the Nanyang Business School (NBS). The Business Minor comprises of courses in core business disciplines, training in business and marketing skills. This is advantageous to those students who aspire to be in management positions and looking for entrepreneurship opportunities.

Students can be admitted DIRECTLY to do the Business Minor when applying to NTU for admission or INDIRECTLY by applying to do the Business Minor after they have been admitted to the Biological Sciences (Honours) programme. Note that the number admitted to the Business Minor is very limited and direct-admission students are given priority over indirect-admission students in the form of: • Pre-allocation of one business minor course in Year 1 Semester 1.• Priority allocation of a business minor course in Year 1 Semester 2.

Industrial Internship Programme

This 22-weeks Industrial Internship Programme (IIP) is a new and exciting addition to the array of choices students can enjoy. As a part of the graduation requirement, students can choose to complete the Industrial Internship Programme in the place of the Final Year Project.

The purpose of the internship programme is to provide students with experience in an industrial and professional setting to hone their career-enhancing skills. Being interned to a specific employer also offers opportunities to take up available positions directly after graduation.

A substantial number of our graduates are working in the civil sector, for example, as education officers (teachers) at MOE, and executives at MOFA, MOM and MOH.

Others are employed, for example, as:• Management executive, Citibank Singapore.• Team leader, Wealth management, HSBC.• Data analyst, Barclays Capital.• Regulatory Affairs Executive, Bayer Chemicals.• Operations Manager, Singapore General Hospital.• Clinical Services Executive, Johnson and Johnson Pharmaceuticals.

Get a head-start in your career!

Career Prospects – Unlimited Opportunities!

The majority of our Biological Sciences’ graduates are currently working as scientific and research personnel at University laboratories, national research institutes (GIS, IMCB, BTI, DSO, DSTA, etc), and private research institutes (GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Roche, etc) while others are studying for a PhD degree at local and overseas universities or the graduate medical degree at Duke-NUS Medical School.

For graduates with an additional Psychology Major, career opportunities are further extended to include scopes such as employment counsellors, correction counsellors, interviewers, personnel analysts, and writers. In Singapore,

and overseas, career for graduates in Psychology are increasing. The

Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health,

and the Police are among the Singaporean government agencies interested in hiring Psychology graduates. In the private sector opportunities range more widely – e.g.

Our pedagogy produces graduates that are not only trained for a career in Life Sciences but equipped with knowledge and experience applicable to diverse career paths locally and internationally.

the sales/service sector, administrative support, public affairs, education, business, advertising, health, and the media.
