Being awarded a <strong>Swinburne</strong><br />
Sarawak scholarship<br />
motivates me to study harder.<br />
My goal is to become a<br />
successful biotechnologist<br />
and the <strong>Swinburne</strong><br />
Foundation Studies<br />
(Engineering/Science)<br />
provides me the grounding I<br />
need for my degree in<br />
biotechnology. Studying at<br />
<strong>Swinburne</strong> Sarawak has been<br />
challenging but the best<br />
thing is being able to learn<br />
new things and make new<br />
friends.”<br />
