The decision to continue one’s studies at postgraduate level is an exciting prospect and every student will have his own reason to embark on this journey. Students can enrol to study full-time or part-time, so the best time to undertake postgraduate study will depend on each student’s circumstances and goals. Joanna Tan Lay Hsien, postgraduate student and full-time pharmacist at a government hospital, is currently pursuing the Master of Science in Analytical and Pharmaceutical Chemistry (MAPC) at International Medical University (IMU). Currently in the final semester of the programme, she is in the process of completing her research project.
