Good question. Actually — it’s not easy to list 5 big MBBS-colleges/universities in Singapore — because there are only a few medical schools there that offer a full MBBS / medical degree.
Here’s a breakdown of the main ones people consider when they talk about “top / big MBBS medical colleges” in Singapore 👇—✅ Main Medical Schools in SingaporeSchool / University What it offers / NotesNational University of Singapore (via Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine)
The oldest and most established medical school in Singapore. Offers a 5-year undergraduate MBBS programme. Nanyang Technological University (via Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine – LKCMedicine) Offers a 5-year MBBS undergraduate programme.
A newer school but gaining recognition; curriculum emphasises modern teaching methods. Duke–NUS Medical School This is a graduate-entry medical school (not direct MBBS after high school).
Students enter after a prior bachelor’s degree and do a 4-year MD. —⚠️ Why It’s Hard to Make a “Top 5” List in SingaporeThe official medical schools in Singapore are essentially two that offer undergraduate MBBS — NUS and NTU (LKC).
The third school (Duke–NUS) offers a graduate-entry MD, not a standard 5-year MBBS.
Other institutions sometimes show up in lists related to “health sciences” or allied-health/biomedical courses — but they do not offer a recognized MBBS/MD degree for becoming a doctor.
Hence, there really aren’t 5 full-fledged MBBS medical universities in Singapore — only 2 (undergraduate) + 1 (graduate-entry) — contrary to what many “top 5” lists might suggest.—📌 What “Top 5” Lists Usually MeanWhen you see lists calling “top 5 MBBS colleges/universities in Singapore,” often they:mix medical universities (with MBBS/MD) with health science / allied health / biomedical-sciences institutions;
include foreign medical schools recognised by Singapore authorities (for international students) — but these are not based in Singapore. So such lists can be misleading if you strictly want institutions within Singapore that grant MBBS/MD.—✅ My RecommendationIf you are evaluating for medical degree (MBBS/MD) in Singapore, focus on NUS (Yong Loo Lin) and NTU (LKCMedicine) — these are the main undergraduate-entry medical schools.
If you have already completed a bachelor’s degree and are looking for a graduate-entry medical path, Duke–NUS is the main option.
If you like — I can check and show you a full list (with all known institutions, incl allied-health / biomedical-science) in Singapore that are realistically relevant for students coming from India (for MBBS or health-related education), so you get full clarity.
Do you want me to build that list for you now?
