Bachelor of Biomedical Science, La Trobe University

School of Health and Life Sciences

I was inspired to study overseas instead of attending a university in Korea after my friend shared her experience. I felt that being exposed to different cultures would be more valuable and essential than traditional classroom learning.

After much consideration and comparison, I chose to study at PSB Academy because of its condensed curriculum and excellent laboratory facilities. The life science programme was only two and a half years. I appreciated that it allowed me to focus on my major without taking unrelated modules, enabling me to concentrate fully on my field of study.

In my biomedical science programme, I studied fundamental modules like chemistry, mathematics, and biology. Additionally, there were modules on statistics and data analysis to ensure we could understand and process the information we collected from experiments.

Lecturers at PSB Academy are friendly, enthusiastic, and supportive. They are always willing to address any queries with patience and kindness. They would often share insightful stories from their experiences, which inspire the class to strive for excellence. My course mates create a calm and cooperative atmosphere, especially noticeable during group projects and collaborative assignments.

Studying in Singapore has offered me a wealth of opportunities. The country’s melting pot of cultures has allowed me to interact with students from various countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and many more. Through these interactions, my worldview has definitely expanded.

Choosing PSB Academy for my studies has been one of the best decisions of my life. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to broaden their horizons and gain a world-class education.
