Testimonials

"I came to Singapore on exchange seeking to fully immerse myself in biomedical research. In the end, I found all of that and more. A key reason why was because of REx. I was given opportunities and experiences which went beyond my imagination. The interdisciplinary nature of the REx programme, bringing scholars from all backgrounds together, also meant that I was free to explore novel ways of presenting my research unconfined by the natural sciences. The whole point is to make research findings accessible to everyone. Ultimately, REx is what you choose to make it: the programme’s freedom and fine-tunability is its greatest strength. Although it can be challenging, I believe that conducting research is one of the most fulfilling paths a person can pursue. Programmes like REx are necessary and lead the way in preparing students to conduct some of the most valuable contributions one can make to humankind.
