JPA: Cempaka International School

I believe what you want to pursue is environmental science. Imperial has environmental science degree for postgraduate.

yeah, supposedly that's what i want to do. but during the filling of the jpa form, i didn't know what 'Sciences' means. and biotech seemed to be the closest thing to what i wanted. sighh. but i think there's such a thing as environmental biotech? just not that common i guess. what do biotechnologist do after graduation?

You can either do a postgraduate degree in a field that you're interested in then join a research lab to do post-doctoral research (the research scientist way), or a completely different career such as finance/marketing/administration. Biotechnology basically studies the common techniques employed in studying cells and genetics, and how to obtain the desired results by manipulation of these techniques. There's no specific answer for 'what do biotechnologists do after graduation'. For the time being, focus on what is in your plate (your degree education) and decide after you've completed at least 2nd year (by which you would have had a clear mind about what you're going to devote your life into). Cheers and enjoy your not-so-long holidays before embarking to UK---you will miss home terribly once you're here

anyone from Malaysia? can you please reply this, does malaysian who used to study in the local school enters Cempaka International Ladies College? is that even allowed?

I'm not too sure about this because we are under Cempaka Cheras. But I believe that it is possible. What year are you entering? Fyi, I heard that they only offer IB--there is no A-Levels there.

Heyya!!i guess the jpa results are out now.a year ago,we googled this school since we haven't heard of it before.and i guessed those that reached here do too just that it seems u guys have the chance to choose the colleges that you want to go.

Anyway, just so you all know, academically speaking, we are quite good (physics teacher is a white who has a phd from cambridge, we had brilliance award receivers and a person who went Oxford plus a senior who got an offer from cambridge). If any of you prefer low student-teacher ratio, then this definitely a great place. You'll get a lot of guidance from teachers. Most of us are bound to go to top unis in uk, so yeah, in that way, it's a great place.
