The programme equips students with the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue a future in the dynamic field of science. The programme emphasises on learning by doing, and therefore, students are regularly required to work on actual projects.

Students are exposed to a dynamic environment, which encourages two-way interaction between students and lecturers. Learning also takes place beyond the classroom via community service trips, interaction with researchers, participation in competitions, and many more.

State-of-the-art Facilities

  • Acquire practical skills with our science laboratories that are equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation.
  • Experience learning supported by modern technology, such as lecture capture, and various online tools.

Balanced Learning Environment

  • Opportunity to acquire and demonstrate discipline-specific knowledge, cognitive capabilities and soft skills.
  • A balanced assessment method, whereby 50% of the evaluation is allocated to various continuous assessments such as quizzes, class tests, projects and oral presentations while the remaining 50% to the final exam.

From Theory to Application

  • Holistic learning approach through the Integrated Science Project (ISP), which implements research skills and scientific concepts and balances learning outcomes with hands-on experimentation.
  • Cultivate independent and confident learners through continuous assessments which encompass public speaking, group work and creativity.
