"My education at RP has equipped me with skills to become a better problem solver and critical thinker — which are essential in my current role as a researcher. I am also very thankful to my lecturers who always passionately share their knowledge and challenge my understanding so that I can further improve myself.”

After graduating from the Diploma in Pharmaceutical Science (DPHM) and working for 3 years, Melvin continued his further studies at TUM-SIT where he was awarded the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) Scholarship by the German government in 2018 during his overseas semester studies in Munich, Germany. Upon his return to Singapore after graduation, he worked in various roles related to R&D before his current position as R&D Specialist at Bayer.
