Student Stories

Since high school, I’ve always been fascinated by physics, and as I continued, I became interested in engineering. Influenced by my father, who studied Engineering, I decided to take up his advice and pursue the same field as him.

Unlike most schools that I know, PSB Academy has two campuses catered for different disciplines. While the City Campus space is designed for immersive learning and interactive discussion, the STEM campus is a lab-based facility that focuses on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

My classes consist of theory-based sessions where lecturers would explain the different concepts and lab-based sessions where we would put to practice the theories we have learned. I can learn as much theory in class, but whether I genuinely understand will depend on whether I can apply it during the lab sessions. I believe the hands-on experience of assembling hardware and programme coding will value-add to my future career.

The friendships I have forged with people of different nationalities such as Burmese, Malaysians, Chinese, Thais, Indians, and even Singaporeans have exposed me to diverse cultures. At the same time, I could also promote Korean culture to them. Studying in a global environment has led to many cross-culture exchanges, and it has broadened my horizons, allowing me to expand my network.

While females in engineering-related fields are a rare sight, I have discovered that I could bond easily with my classmates as we have a common understanding of the same field. Being a female in a male-dominated industry did not undermine my ability, but in turn, motivated me to excel. I am proud to say that I was a team lead for a school project.

From my Diploma to currently pursuing my Engineering Degree with Coventry University at PSB Academy, my two years here have been exciting and fulfilling so far. After graduating, I hope to find a job where I can be posted to different countries so that I can be exposed to new environments and be able to challenge myself.
