Programme Structure and Requirements for NUS students

The programme requires:

NUS students take modules worth a total of 32 NUS MCs for the Environmental Biology Minor, earning 12 MCs at NUS and 20 MCs at UofT. The minor is open to all NUS students satisfying the following requirements (i.e., the minor is not restricted to Life Science students).

Requirements

1. A-levels in Biology or good pass of LSM1301 General Biology

2. Successful application to the Joint Minor Program upon completion of the NUS course requirements for the minor (LSM1103, LSM3251 or LSM2251, LSM3252). The application deadline is toward the end of semester 2 of each academic year. Students who are completing the NUS requirements in this semester are eligible to apply

3. The minor is a two-way exchange programme offered by the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology (UofT) and the Department of Biological Sciences (NUS). The capstone module for NUS students at UofT is ENV234Y Environmental Biology. To be awarded the joint minor in Environmental Biology, NUS students are required to read and pass the modules prescribed in Table 1.

Table 1: Modules required by NUS students for joint minor in Environmental Biology

Life Science students: Up to three LSM modules (12MC) are shared between your major and the joint minor, but only 8 MCs can be double-counted; i.e., you either have to either take an additional NUS 3000-level LSM module or three of the five UofT modules from the list of electives (see table 1).
