Take your chemistry studies international to investigate matter from molecules to materials—linking synthesis, analysis, and modeling to real‑world challenges in energy, health, environment, and food systems. International study immerses you in diverse research labs, instrumentation, and regulatory contexts, expanding how you design experiments, validate methods, and translate results into safe, scalable applications. You’ll advance in organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and biochemistry while tackling projects such as water reuse and gray‑water treatment, catalysis for clean energy, biomolecular characterization, and medicinal chemistry. Build your portfolio through laboratory rotations, method development, and collaborations with international chemists—strengthening experimental rigor, data analysis, and the ability to apply chemical insight to global problem‑solving.
My internship at NUS Forensic Science Laboratory was a boost to my college career and decision-maker of my future. Many students say it's difficult to know what to pursue, yet I believe the first step is to be proactive and I'm glad I took my shot. The challenges that confronted me helped me grow as an individual and the happiness I found throughout this journey made me more certain of becoming a forensic scientist.
