Why did you choose to pursue your course
of study at NUS?
I chose to pursue Life Sciences in NUS because of the versatility of
this degree and my general interest in Biology. This degree equips
students with a wide array of soft skills which are important and
relevant to multiple industries. Moreover, I had enjoyed Biology
classes in Dunman High School, and had even participated in the
Biology Olympiad in Secondary 4. Additionally, I opted for a sec-
ond major in Management to not only feed my curiosity on how
business is conducted, but also to widen my career options in the
future. Thus, I chose NUS Life Sciences as it allows me to discover
my interests and enjoy while I learn.
