New Chinese Medicine degree to meet Singapore’s healthcare needs

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.

The new four-year Bachelor of Chinese Medicine degree programme was launched today by Mr Ong Ye Kung, Singapore’s Minister for Health. It will be designed with input from local TCM institutions and the TCMPB, and draws on the expertise of NTU faculty and visiting faculty from overseas universities.

The new programme will be offered by NTU’s School of Biological Sciences and will welcome its first cohort in August 2024.
