In Their Own Words

DBT_Tan Lin Hui Cherie

The course has given me a valuable glimpse into the biotechnology industry as well as the field of biomedical research. Additionally, the curriculum allowed me to hone my teamwork and communication skills as well as seamlessly apply what I have learnt in the classroom on research projects and internships. I am grateful for the opportunities given to me in this programme, and do not regret my decision to join the course via EAE back in 2018!

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.

My 2019 decision to pursue biomedical science through EAE exceeded my expectations in shaping my personal and professional growth. Passionate and knowledgeable lecturers made every session engaging, fostering my love for science. Clinical attachments at NHCS left a lasting impression, further enriching my experience. Looking back, choosing the DBS course was one of the best decisions I have made. It not only developed valuable skills but provided me with a sense of purpose and direction in life.
