NST: Biotechnology and biomedicine are the most popular courses after medicine among Malaysians seeking to study in the National University of Singapore.
Business and engineering courses were also among their top choices, said NUS admissions officer Juliet Ho at the Facon Education Fair today.
That accorded with the experience of other universities’ recruitment officers and the fair’s organisers.
School-leavers at the fair were applying for degrees in medicine, biotechnology and biomedical sciences, said Stephanie Hah, senior marketing manager of Monash University.
Pharmacy was a course that many school-leavers were considering, said Deva Guru, marketing and recruitment officer of University Nottingham campus in Malaysia.
"All serious enquiries were for courses such as pharmacy, engineering, business and computer science," he said.
Wong Yoke Lin, executive director of Facon Exhibitions Sdn Bhd, said most SPM and STPM school-leavers were going for medicine, engineering and biotechnology courses.
"We also received positive feedback from the participants of the careers in human resource development seminars.
"We had at least 20 to 30 students per session," she said.
The two-day fair concluded today, attracting at least 41,000 students.
Wong said at least 16,000 students attended the fair yesterday and about 25,000 today.
