UPIP Student Testimonials

Corey Chew, Chemistry

My UPIP was with National Parks Board, in the Native Plant Centre at Pasir Panjang Nursery. I was drawn towards this internship as I am passionate about plants and horticulture. My supervisor was also kind and open enough to let me apply my Chemistry knowledge and come up with my own project during my internship. There is no better way to learn about growing our own food crops than getting our own hands dirty, and there is so much knowledge to gain about horticulture which is very applicable especially with current efforts in sustainable development.

 

Clarence Ong, Data Science & Analytics

The opportunity to exchange ideas and expertise with my teammates during my internship helped me in expanding both my knowledge and network. I was also honoured to be awarded the DSO Scholarship for Aspiring Researchers (SOAR) for my performance and contributions to the organisation, in support of my passion for defence science.

 

Loh Li Xuan, Food Science & Technology

My UPIP with Waters Pacific Pte Ltd was a highly rewarding and fulfilling one. The internship sparked my interest in the field of analytical instrumentation. I also gained valuable skillsets and experiences which one will not be able to pick up in a classroom. I am grateful for all the learning experiences at Waters which trained me to become a better analytical scientist!

 

Wee Yu Xuan, Life Sciences 

My UPIP with MSD was both personally and professionally rewarding. I had the opportunity to tap on my Life Sciences knowledge and build collaborative relationships. This meaningful experience has also enabled me to hone my critical thinking, problem-solving and data management skills. I would highly recommend UPIP as an industry-fit accelerant.
