In
Conversation with
Professor Tan Chorh Chuan and
Mr R . Rajaram
By Claire Chong and Micaela Leong
With the first batch of International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme ( IBDP ) students about to graduate at the end of
2014 , we capitalised on an opportune moment to ask Prof Tan and Mr Rajaram some pertinent questions regarding university application for IBDP students .
On 30th April , we were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to interview SJI alumnus Professor Tan Chorh Chuan , President of National University of Singapore ( NUS ) and Professor of Medicine , as well as Mr R . Rajaram , Director , Office of Admissions , NUS . We took this opportunity to ask them questions about their opinion of the IBDP , as well as mollify some of our students ’ concerns , such as how GCE ‘ A ’ Levels compare to the IBDP , and how the standard of teaching is maintained across NUS faculties .
