We are pleased to share that the National University of Singapore has been ranked 13th globally in the Medical and Health subject category in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2026.

This recognition reflects the collective strength of NUS’ medical and health disciplines, comprising Duke-NUS Medical School, the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SSHSPH) and the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, alongside the complementary academic medicine ecosystems that support education, research and clinical impact.

As NUS' flagship graduate-entry medical school, Duke-NUS contributes through its integrated Academic Medicine partnership with SingHealth, with a strong focus on translational research, clinical relevance, and the development of clinicians and scientists who work across disciplines.

Together, these interconnected schools and health systems form a robust academic medicine ecosystem that underpins NUS’ global standing in medical and health sciences, translating discovery and evidence into impact for patients and communities in Singapore and beyond.

Professor Patrick Tan, Dean of Duke-NUS Medical School, said: “This ranking reflects the collective strength of NUS’ medical and health ecosystem, spanning Duke-NUS, the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health and Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, and the distinct academic medicine partnerships that support them. It is the ability to work across education, research, public health and clinical systems — including SingHealth and NUHS — that underpins NUS’ global standing in medical and health sciences.”
