School of Applied Science (SAS)
Science has unlocked the secrets of the atom,
painted nature in a rational light and unravelled
the mystery of DNA, the molecule of life.
Advancements in the understanding of life processes
and the smart applications of biology and materials
are transforming people from being passive observers
to choreographers of nature.
The world is on the threshold of a shift from an age
of discovery to an age of mastery.
Applied Science is the practice of using science in
the industry. It integrates scientific,
technological and medical knowledge to solve the
problems of society and improve lives.
However far we have come, the sciences still offer
many wonders to be discovered. Learn
science to find out about life, understand the world
we live in, and be equipped to create solutions for
the enhancement of life as we know it.
SAS currently offers the following diploma and post-diploma programmes:
Diploma Programmes
- Diploma in Biomedical Sciences (DBMS)

At our School, we hope to impart to you some
of wonder and curiosity we feel about the world. We
provide rigorous training in scientific methods and
encourage the development of scientific thinking.
That aside, the skills you learn here can be
extended into industry and be the starting point of
further education.
Besides providing a firm foundation in the various
technologies, we will help you think about the
social and ethical issues that science faces.
At the end of your time with us, you will take away
the ability to think critically, thoroughly and
sensitively about the implications of the sciences
to society. You will also be able to extend those
thoughts to other areas of science which you may
encounter in the future.
Our school actively seeks to remain at the
forefront of the industry. Not only do we partner
key companies in the development of curricula and
facilities, our academic staff serve as company
associates, to remain at the cutting edge of their
fields.
Joint research and development projects with
industry drivers also promise a wealth of experience
and contacts to both our staff and students.
