Hear from our students

Here's what past participants had to say.

I enjoyed crafting a pitch and pitching it in the lecture theatre in front of everyone. I feel that I have developed as a person, especially in my way of communicating and public speaking.
— Soon Jiahui, Diploma in Applied Chemistry student
My favourite part of the entrepreneurship bootcamp is pitching in front of the class, which gave me the chance to speak with confidence. Secondly, I enjoyed working with my teammates to define our problem and expand our ideas before refining them into solutions that would truly benefit our target users.
— Ungku Mohamed Hasif Bin Mohamed Faisal, Diploma in Biotechnology student
