What interests you most in your studies?
I have always been interested in languages, and have thus always wanted to do something related to them. After all, languages shape the way we see and interpret things daily. Hence, though I was never very good in Chinese, I have always enjoyed the language itself - conversing with others in it, reading Chinese stories- there was always a certain beauty in the words.
What are your plans after graduation?
I hope to be a Chinese teacher that inspires students, helping them see that Chinese is not just a subject they are tested on, but a language that enriches a person’s experience on a daily basis - so long as you take the time to understand it.

The Chinese Language curriculum consists of Chinese language and linguistics, and Chinese-English translation. Students study many topics, among which are an introduction to the Chinese language; the phonology, grammar, and lexicology of Chinese; the evolution of Chinese; Classical Chinese; the writing-system of Chinese characters; the semantics of Chinese; the rhetoric and pragmatics of Chinese language; and Chinese dialects.
Why study Chemistry? What interests you about Chemistry?
As the central science, Chemistry offers a vast array of prospect and flexibility. I have acquired different skills and gained exposure to different aspect of sciences. I have always fascinated how everything is relatable to chemistry.
What are some of the qualities/skills you acquired in your time at the Faculty?
I learnt to always be inquisitive. We are encouraged to kindle our curiosity to discover answers and at the same time, be grounded to embrace and tackle different challenges.
I feel better equipped to pursue my aspiration to be a researcher, by becoming more curious and having habit to solve problems through the scientific path.

Chemistry
The undergraduate degree in Chemistry prepares students for a career as a highly competent chemist and also provides a strong basis for careers in many other diverse fields. Its curriculum grounded in both experimental applications and theoretical studies offers both breadth and depth covering fundamental knowledge of the major fields of chemistry, namely: analytical; inorganic; organic; and physical chemistry which can be applied to many scientific fields.
The programme offers a Second Major in Chemistry, 4 specialisations in Chemistry, and 3 Minors in Chemistry. Students will also acquire laboratory experience in chemical synthesis, spectroscopy, analytical and physical measurements to make them ready to be involved in cutting-edge research in areas like renewable energy, food sustainability, better medicines and next-generation materials, to address global challenges such as climate change, the energy crisis and diseases in future.
