In November 2023, the new four-year Bachelor of Chinese Medicine degree programme was launched by Mr Ong Ye Kung, Singapore’s Minister for Health.
Currently, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) offers double degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Biomedical Sciences.The Biomedical Sciences degree is conferred by NTU, while the Chinese Medicine degree is conferred by Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.
From 2028, NTU Singapore will confer its own Chinese Medicine degree. It is the first locally conferred Chinese Medicine undergraduate degree programme accredited by the Ministry of Health’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board, and has been developed for Singapore’s healthcare needs.
This new course will be crafted in collaboration with the local Traditional Chinese Medicine institutions and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB), leveraging the knowledge and experience of NTU faculty members as well as visiting faculty members from overseas universities.
This new programme will welcome its first cohort this coming August.
