New postgraduate students enroll twice a year for both clinical Masters training programs (June and December) and research and mixed mode programs (April and October). As the postgraduate secretariat, it is our task to conduct briefing on every aspect of students’ academic journey and life on campus. This year, we organized three online briefings to the new students. We invited panelists which included lecturers and academic officers to share crucial information related to course registration, university regulations and guidelines, and to provide an overview regarding health and library services.
