Sam Pei Yi was always interested in marine life and was no stranger to life on the watery side. Back in secondary school days, she browsed school brochures and was intrigued when she came across RP's Diploma in Environmental & Marine Science (DEMS).

“I’d never seen so many fishes in a school before, and I really like fish!" Pei Yi said. She added that RP's Aquaria – a marine science and aquaculture facility dedicated to teaching and research – also caught her attention because of the frequent collaborations with industry partners to tackle current and trending topics in the aquaculture field. “I wanted first-hand experience in scientific investigation and critical thinking to help me stay relevant (in the field)” Pei Yi explained.

When the Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) arrived, Pei Yi applied for the course. Her deep interest in the study of environmental and wildlife conservation combined with a rich portfolio of experiences in this area strengthened her EAE application.

 

 

RP's School of Management and Communication student, Humairah Binte Noor Asri, initially had some reservations about her numerical competency, but she understood the tremendous value of digital marketing and data analysis. This prompted her to take a bold step and apply for the Diploma in Consumer Behaviour & Research through EAE.

"DCBR has provided me with the relevant skills and knowledge to excel in my internship at Mediacorp. The coursework, especially in data analysis, proved to be invaluable,” says Humairah. She added that RP's emphasis on the development of soft skills such as teamwork and communication helped her thrive in her internship.
