The School Graduate Programme

The School of Medicine Graduate Programme is a research oriented programme to train competent biomedical scientists who will spearhead and drive the medical biotechnology efforts in the industry.

Students are engaged in supervised research with staff members from any of the departments for their period of candidature, at the end of which, they submit a thesis that is examined by a Board of Examiners. The students will be enrolled into the Graduate Programme at admission and fulfill requirements to graduate either with a generic MSc or PhD degree. There is no direction admission to PhD programme nor specialization of the degrees awarded.


Division of Graduate Medical Studies (DGMS)

The Division of Graduate Medical Studies was formed initially as a Committee for Postgraduate Medical Studies in 1961. It was subsequently constituted in 1969 as a 'Postgraduate School' responsible to the Senate. The executive body of the School was the Board of the School of Postgraduate Medical Studies, whose membership included representatives from the National University of Singapore, Academy of Medicine and Ministry of Health. In 2002, the Graduate School was re-named the Division of Graduate Medical Studies (DGMS).

The main aims of the Division are to promote postgraduate training and education in Singapore; to accredit training programmes; and to offer examinations leading to specialist qualifications.
