Top Medical Schools in SingaporeInstitution Year / Notes about how “new” it is What makes it stand outLee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), NTU Established in 2010, admitted first cohort in 2013;
its campus opened fully in 2017. It’s Singapore’s newest local medical school. It has a modern, tech-enabled MBBS curriculum, strong ties with engineering, biomedical science, and emphasizes early clinical exposure.
Duke-NUS Medical School Graduate medical school established in 2005. Offers post-baccalaureate (after bachelor degree) medical education like in the U.S.; strong research emphasis.
Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (National University of Singapore, NUS) Much older/traditional; perhaps not “new” but remains top ranked.
—If you want the “top 5 new medical colleges,” there really are not five brand new ones in Singapore; there are mainly the three major ones above (LKCMedicine, Duke-NUS, and NUS).
But here are additional options/paths:Singapore also recognizes many overseas medical schools via the Singapore Medical Council (SMC), so medical graduates from these recognised schools (from Australia, UK, Ireland, etc.) can practise in Singapore, subject to certain conditions.
(e.g. LKCMedicine’s enhanced MBBS with AI, data science, etc.).
