What are the Cut-Off Points for this programme?
The Cut-Off Points depend largely on the merits of students who apply for this diploma.
I am interested in the Diploma in Biomedical
Sciences course, but I am quite weak in my Sciences.
Is it advisable for me to enrol in this course?
It is advantageous but not a requirement to have
a strong science background in order to enrol in
DBMS. The core basic sciences concepts will be
revisited in the first-year programme. If you have a
strong interest in this course, coupled with a good
learning attitude, we are confident you will excel!
