Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if Stream B is the right stream for me?
If you are interested in medicine, biology, human health, neuroscience or psychological science – or if you’re curious about how the body works, disease, therapy, public health or allied sciences – Stream B is built for you. It’s ideal for students considering careers in healthcare, research, medicine, psychology or related fields. The stream offers a broad, interdisciplinary introduction to medical and biological sciences together with insights into different health‑ and life‑science paths.
Which subjects and topics are covered in Stream B?
Stream B covers four modules including Medicine (and allied health), Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. These modules collectively explore human anatomy and physiology, disease and treatment, pharmacology, epidemiology and public health, organic and inorganic chemistry (as relevant for medical sciences), mental health, cognition, clinical and neuro‑psychology, and foundational biology – giving students a broad base across biological, medical, biochemical, and psychological sciences.
Can I study just one module in the stream?
No. The stream is designed to provide a comprehensive academic experience. Students engage with a wide range of subjects across all four modules, which ensures in-depth knowledge, interdisciplinary learning, and development of diverse skills tailored to their interests.
