Nanyang Technological University (NTU)

Master of Science in Biomedical Data Science

The Master of Science in Biomedical Data Science is the first graduate programme in the Asia-Pacific region offering data science training for specific application in the biomedical domain. The programme is a joint collaboration between Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and the Agency for Science Technology and Research (A*STAR) Singapore.

The curriculum is developed by current practitioners and informed by industry experts in the pharmaceutical, healthcare and tech sectors. Unlike other taught graduate programmes, the curriculum emphasizes on hands-on learning and practical skill acquisition. You will have the opportunity to specialize in any of the 3 tracks: Bioinformatics, Biotechnology or Artificial Intelligence.

Upon graduation, you will be able to

1. Demonstrate a deep understanding of applied mathematics and statistics
2. Exhibit proficiency in developing and programming Data Science and AI technologies
3. Apply these skills meaningfully on real-world problems

Unique Features

One of the programme's unique features include the Biomedical Data Science Immersion Scheme (BMDSIS), a 5 to 6-month research programme where you deepen your domain knowledge in the biosciences via internship with a professor. You also gain the opportunity to apply your skills and develop your maturity as a biomedical data scientist. Depending on the project, this may also lead towards achievements such as deployed software or publications. Such achievements are useful “stamps” that signify ability.
