Why Students Choose SEGi

Charlotte Ng Shen Yee

Joining SEGi has helped me grow in many ways, both personally and professionally. Beyond academics, I had the opportunity to take on leadership responsibilities as President of the ISP Student Chapter, which became a meaningful part of my journey. Through this role, I developed stronger leadership, teamwork and organisational skills while working closely with different departments to plan activities and community health initiatives. These experiences gave me confidence, broadened my perspective and prepared me for the responsibilities of the healthcare profession.

Brendan Lim Zi Zhen

My growth at SEGi came largely from the people around me. The lecturers have always been approachable and supportive, and their guidance went beyond academics. They created an environment where I felt encouraged to keep improving. At the same time, studying alongside classmates from different backgrounds made collaboration more meaningful and enjoyable. That combination of strong academic support and genuine peer connection helped me become more engaged, more open, and more confident throughout my university journey.

Joele Philip

One of the things I appreciate most about SEGi is the diversity of the campus environment. It gave me the opportunity to meet students from different countries and backgrounds, which opened my eyes to new cultures, perspectives and experiences beyond the classroom. As a pharmacy student, the academic schedule can be demanding and intense at times. Even so, campus life never feels dull because there is always something happening. That balance between rigorous studies and a vibrant student experience made my journey at SEGi both enjoyable and fulfilling.

Ong Jun Hong

SEGi has played an important role in shaping both my personal growth and professional development. My journey here has gone far beyond learning how to present myself professionally. The pharmacy curriculum has equipped me with essential technical and practical skills, including professional decision making, patient counselling and teamwork. These experiences have helped me build a stronger foundation for the future and a clearer understanding of what it means to be part of the healthcare field.

Tania Soh Gin Huey

Before joining SEGi, I was a very introverted person and did not feel naturally confident speaking up. Over time, that began to change. The learning environment constantly encouraged me to participate more actively, communicate with others and step out of my comfort zone. Through that process, I became more confident in expressing myself and engaging with people, both in academic settings and beyond.
