I chose a different university (i.e. UCSI University) for my postgraduate studies because it provides a conducive learning and research environment and there are lecturers with varied qualifications in the Faculty of Applied Sciences. 

My course of study (Master’s in Biotechnology by coursework) basically comprises 40 credits of coursework on different aspects of biotechnology, research planning and academic communication as well as 8 months of research. Generally, my research focuses on providing alternative methods to control bacterial infections apart from antibiotic therapy. At the end of this course, I would have sharpened my skills as an independent researcher capable of designing and conducting a research project and then skilfully communicating my findings.
