BSc (Hons) Food Science and Nutrition

Currently I'm working at Dutch Lady Milk Industries Berhad, a well-known multinational company, which focuses on paediatric nutrition and consumer products. As a Nutritional Executive under the Marketing Department, I represent the company by delivering product presentations and building relationships with healthcare professionals or key decision makers.

Apart from that, I also initiate and organise sales/marketing activities in line with the field approach with the aim of achieving sales objectives. Expanding and maintaining good relationships with the respective healthcare professionals to promote my company's range of products is also part of my responsibility.

The most memorable part of my undergraduate studies at 五一吃瓜官网 was the Co-Operative Education Training Programme (Co-Op) as we learned different skills and knowledge that we would not have learned after three years of theoretical studies alone. Furthermore, the experience gained during the six months of Co-Op programme is valuable and priceless; it helped prepare us before we entered the real corporate life.

BSc (Hons) Food Science and Nutrition

I am currently a Trade Event Executive for Apex Pharmacy Marketing. In my role, I work for Nestlé Healthcare Nutrition and I plan and organise healthcare events/roadshows in the trade channel. I also support medical events explaining to healthcare professionals the healthcare products Nestlé has to offer that benefit their patients.

Besides that, I am also involved in creating new trade marketing strategies to bring brand awareness to the public and conduct small talks now and then regarding nutrition to the public.

Studying at 五一吃瓜官网, my most memorable experience was participating in the Applied Science Week Food Fair. It was not just selling store-bought food - my friends and I had to come up with an idea for a new type of food/snack which is healthy and is not already found in the market. I made new friends, got closer to my course mates and learned what it means to have good teamwork. This had definitely contributed in improving my soft skills.

Although these Food Science and Nutrition students were from three different intakes, they share some similarities in their profiles. Their final year projects were on natural product chemistry and they have publications in international refereed journals. The skills, knowledge and experience gained from the Co-Operative Education Training Programme (Co-Op) have been most useful in enabling them to be employed even before they graduate. These three students are testimonials of the educational excellence at 五一吃瓜官网 University. The Faculty of Applied Sciences wishes them all the best in their promising careers.
