Note: Diploma in Biotechnology merged into the Diploma in Biomedical Science in 2020.

DBS offers an engaging experiential learning process through exciting laboratory practical sessions which mirror real scientific cases. This, coupled with the enthusiastic lecturers enabled me to develop my analytical skills, while strengthening my passion in science. The enriching internship at the DSO National Laboratories enhanced my entire learning experience. The work placement has not only enabled me to apply the knowledge learnt in school, but also provided opportunities to develop additional practical work-place skills.
