“The training I have gained so far during the Chemistry program has equipped me with technical knowledge and critical thinking skills. Together with the motivating learning atmosphere created by professors and friendly schoolmates, I have developed a strong passion for studying science here. Meanwhile, the School of Science provides us with many enrichment activities, both academic and extracurricular. Last year, I joined a Career Mentor Training Scheme and the mainland internship program, through which I polished my coaching skills and gained valuable industrial insights to prepare me for my future ahead. It is really a blessing to be a member of this big family.”
