Introduction to Graduate Programmes
The School of Biological Sciences (SBS) was established in 2001 as part of NTU’s strategy plan to become a comprehensive university. SBS is committed to implementing current best practices in the training of graduate students towards the degrees of Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Science in Biological Sciences. Our major objective is to produce research scientists who have deep and wide knowledge in biological sciences and the flexibility to engage in research in diverse areas as well as to support the biomedical and biotechnological industries. SBS has recruited world class scientists, rigorously selected from academic and research institutions both locally and from the finest universities across the world. All faculty members are active in research, and are at the forefront of their respective fields. To support undergraduate teaching and graduate research programmes, SBS has established over 60 research laboratories. A Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) facility is being established to complement the double degree programme - Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biomedical Sciences from NTU and Bachelor of Medicine from the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. The research arm of the facility will have a strong link with the Drug Discovery Centre of the School. The School is equipped with the latest and most advanced instruments and technologies for life sciences research. Our core facilities include key equipment and support in proteomics, genomics, cell biology, structural biology, chemical biology, as well as an animal house complete with a Biosafety Level 3 laboratory. Degrees by ResearchDoctor of Philosophy and Master of ScienceStudents enrolled in graduate programmes by research may be admitted on a full-time or part-time basis. Research scholarships are available to outstanding full-time candidates. Students are required to participate in research and fulfill course work requirement. All students will receive relevant research skill training by their research supervisors. Students may pursue their research in one of the following divisions: |
