A Versatile Major for Experiential Learning

Life Sciences is not just a major with three specialisations in Biomedical Sciences; Molecular and Cell Biology; and Environmental Biology. Through various double majors, minors, and study roadmaps, you will have ample opportunities to experience other disciplines, like Psychology; Forensic Science; Business Management; Public Health; Veterinary Medicine; Drug Discovery; and Allied Health. You can also dwell deep into multiple areas within the Life Sciences, such as Neurobiology; Pharmacology; Immunology and Infectious Diseases; Drug Discovery and Clinical Trials; Pre-Medical; etc. The talk will show the programme’s versatility, where you can broaden your learning experiences through overseas exchanges, overseas concurrent/joint degree programmes, undergraduate research and internships.
