  There is another route... costly one.

   

  RP Dip in Biomedical Science --> Monash University's Bachelor in Biomedical Science --> NUS Medicine.

  RP linked up with Monash for the accelerated bachelor programme. :) So if cost and age is not an issue.. you can consider this route. Quite a handful of RP Biomed students are heading towards the Monash bachelor programme.

  nus medicine takes about 250 ppl /yr

  NUS dentistry about 50/yr.

  By right, the requirements to enter these medical courses are Math, and any 2 of the 3 sciences, physic, chem, and/or bio.

  but usually, they wouldn't take the non-bio students, since the taking of biology is an indication of interest in the subject.

  with over 2000+ applicants for the limited places, they can afford to be extremely picky.

  and TS, i suggest you do well for your subjects first. 50s and 60s ain't exactly grades which can get you into the med/dentistry courses.

  these courses require straight As in your A levels. and A lvls is much harder than O lvl.

  @hehe_haha_hoho The NUS programme leads to a degree in dentistry. The NYP programme leads to a diploma in dental hygiene and therapy. Just follow Gunner77's link. The NDC with ITE programme leads to certificate in dental assistance and dental technology. For the degree and diploma holders, the difference is in the scope of work. However at the end of the day they all work on patients. The NDC/ITE certificate holder is part of the dental team, assisting the dentist. They do not get to work on patients. Merry Christmas to everyone.
