*All elective courses chosen must be graded and of at least 2 Units if it is to be used towards the GPA. Students may choose their elective courses from those offered by the School, Department of Biological Sciences or Research Institutes\/Centres affiliated with the National University of Singapore. Students who are interested in clinical or epidemiologic research may also choose their elective courses from the Master of Public Health programme. In addition to the elective course required of their MSc candidature, graduate students can take their additional electives any time before confirmation as a PhD candidate. They may take Satisfactory\/Unsatisfactory courses to widen their knowledge but such courses cannot be used towards the GPA calculation. As electives are meant to improve the students’ breadth of knowledge, students should register for their electives only after consultation with and with approval from their Thesis Advisors.<\/p>\n

For courses offered by other faculties and Research Institutes\/Centres, students should check with the respective faculties\/Research Institutes\/Centres for the course information and schedules.<\/p>\n
