Biology Programme had provided a holistic curriculum framework to prepare students for research and future career, with teaching lab sessions consolidating the concepts acquired in the lectures. All professors and seniors were very helpful throughout the academic studies, career guidance and co-curricular activities. My precious experiences as student helper, final year project student and MPhil student well-equip myself with analytical mind, laboratory techniques and presentation skills for my teaching career, especially when leading my student team to local and national Science competitions, and cultivating self-directed learning environment to foster Popular Science and Gifted Education in my school.
