As a Biological Science student, I enjoy dipping deeper into the cellular activities and mystery of organisms around us. Laboratory lessons also give us a chance to work as a team to practice what we have learnt. For sure there are always ups and downs throughout the past two years at university. Yet, it is always satisfying to see what I have achieved and overcome along the way. The Office of Academic Advising and Support plays an important role in my university life. As an intern, I was assigned with different tasks in order to know my strengths and weaknesses better. Together with the evaluation of the staff, I am encouraged to try more new things and keep on improving my skill sets. Thanks SCI/HOME for being so supportive!

Under the biotechnology curriculum, I am able to meet passionate professors and like-minded friends. Laboratory courses provide us with an opportunity to gain hands-on experience on using various laboratory equipment. The Office of Academic Advising and Support provides full support, from our personal development to career advising. Each year, a wide range of activities are arranged for students to grow and learn. To better prepare myself for the future, I have actively participated in these events. For example, the MenTernship program provides a valuable chance for me to learn and get advice from mentors; the peer mentor program enables me to guide and advise new university students. This year, I also participated in a competition named “Science is Everywhere”, which allows me to promote popular science to the community. I am glad to have the opportunity to execute my idea with the support from professors and SCI/HOME staff.

The Biochemistry and Cell Biology program helps us develop a strong foundation in Biology, and gives us flexibility to acquire knowledge from a wide range of subjects under the well-designed curriculum. I am currently interning at a renowned medical device company as technical support assistant in the Cardiac Arrhythmia & Heart Failure team, in which I gain hands-on working experience and industrial insights. It all began from participating in SCI/HOME’s MenTernship Program which provides mentoring, job opportunities and employability training.

Rumor has it that there will not be many opportunities for Science students. However, as long as you put in effort and time, you can definitely enjoy your university life to the fullest and get well-prepared for your future.

Pursuing a bachelor degree towards Data Science and Technology has been one of the most remarkable experiences in my life. It gives me the opportunity to fulfill my passion of making sense of data. The well-designed curriculum prepares me for internships and research opportunities with different professors. However, the whole journey would not be nearly as meaningful without the incredible fellows I have met in the Data Science family and the much larger School of Science community. As part of the school, I am fortunate enough to have joined the MenTernship Program and attended a few service trips. I can’t wait for future adventures to come!
