Indonesia
Renewable Energy and Clean Technology at the University of Manchester
Bianca realised that Indonesia, her home country, is rich in energy, yet so much of it remains untapped for the people. She believes her MSc will equip her with the tools she needs to design and lead sustainable energy projects that are not only technically sound but also socially and environmentally responsible, and will drive her country’s energy transition in the long term.
Indonesia
Health Data Science at the University of Manchester
Rana’s interest in STEM grew while studying public health. She realised that issues like access to care or medication adherence weren’t just clinical problems but were also shaped by behaviours, beliefs, and environments. With her MSc, she plans to become a researcher conducting studies that not only identify problems but also inform better healthcare systems, creating solutions that resonate with people's lived realities.
Malaysia
Polymer Chemistry at the University of Warwick
Najah has always been fascinated by how things work and how they’re made. While working on a project that transformed palm waste into eco-friendly films, she realised that science is about solving real-world problems and making life better for people and the planet. She believes her MSc will enable her to work on real-world projects, especially those that reduce industrial waste and improve material efficiency in Malaysia.
Myanmar
Applied Artificial Intelligence at the University of Warwick
Thiri Yamin Hsu began entering maths competitions at the age of 11. When she discovered quantum computing and AI, she realised how much there is to explore. Her MSc will enable her to contribute to cutting-edge research in AI and quantum computing. She plans to pursue a PhD and eventually work at the intersection of AI, quantum technologies, and space science—her ultimate dream is to become a scientist at NASA
The Philippines
Renewable Energy and Clean Technology at the University of Manchester
Dannah comes from a farming family, and she watched the destruction of homes and crops due to flooding. This gave her a sense of urgency for climate action, which developed into a passion for environmental sustainability. She believes her MSc will help her maximise the potential of indigenous renewable energy and advance climate change solutions in the Philippines.
The Philippines
Humanitarian Engineering at the University of Warwick
Marie has loved building things since childhood, leading her to study architecture. She believes that her Master’s will help her to create social impact and address global humanitarian challenges through engineering. She hopes to work in the area of planning and public infrastructure, making cities in the Philippines more resilient, humane, and liveable places for everyone.
Singapore
Precision Medicine at the University of Manchester
Su Wei Lim was given a toy microscope as a young child, and it mesmerised her. That curiosity about how things work at a microscopic level grew stronger. Her MSc will give her the tools to work at the intersection of genomics, data science, and healthcare, enabling her to contribute to Singapore’s growing national precision medicine efforts, developing personalised and effective healthcare solutions.
Thailand
Clinical Biochemistry at the University of Manchester
Tayida has been drawn to the way science tackles questions and searches for answers since childhood. She believes that studying Clinical Biochemistry will help her to pursue a career in diagnostics and pharmaceutical research. She hopes to build bridges between research in Thailand and the UK and help position Thai scientific contributions more prominently on the world stage.
