On Saturday afternoon, March 15th, 2025, the Ground Floor of the Central Building at XJTLU served as the host site for the School of Science Academic Fair Undergraduate Student Recruitment. The area buzzed with energy as the largest-ever crowd of first-year university students flooded the School of Science booths in Biological Sciences, Bioinformatics, Applied Chemistry and Environmental Sciences for the much-anticipated Academic Fair Event. Excitement filled the air as eager students explored their options, discussed their educational opportunities with dedicated faculty and appeared determined to carve their path in the amazing world of science.
Faculty members and senior students welcomed them warmly, guiding them through an immersive journey into the School’s internationally accredited and highly competitive Bachelor’s programme in the following disciplines.
- Our star programme Biological Sciences designed for those passionate about life itself. From genetics, microbiology, immunology to molecular biology and public health, students would uncover the intricate workings of living organisms. Graduates could pursue careers in highly in demand fields such as medical research, pharmaceuticals, genetics, biomedicine and biotechnology—leading the charge in solving global health and environmental challenges.
- Our most popular Bioinformatics programme. The perfect fusion of biology, artificial intelligence and data science, this cutting-edge programme prepares students to decode the secrets of genomes and revolutionize personalized medicine. With AI-driven research on the rise, bioinformatics graduates are in high demand in medical institutions, biotech firms, and research labs worldwide.
- Our most established Applied Chemistry programme. More than just chemical reactions, this programme shaped the future of materials science, pharmaceuticals, and industrial innovation. Students would master the principles of chemistry to create new medicines, sustainable materials, and advanced technologies, opening doors to careers in forensic science, petrochemicals, and green energy solutions.
- Our most exciting and fun Environmental Sciences programme. A field dedicated to many fields trips in nature and preserving the planet, this programme equips students with the skills to tackle climate change, pollution, and sustainability issues. Graduates find themselves in career roles as environmental consultants, policy advisors, and conservation scientists—protecting ecosystems for future generations.
As the day unfolded, interactive demonstrations, career talks by faculty experts, and individual discussions between interested students and faculty showcased the endless opportunities awaiting those ambitious students who aim to join the School of Science. The Academic Fair Event was the first step toward a future of discovery, innovation, and global impact.
Professor John Moraros, Dean, School of Science said: “With a record-breaking number of undergraduate students expressing their intent to join our highly competitive academic programmes, our School celebrated an unprecedented success. We are thrilled to welcome, educate and train a new generation of young scientists, who are truly excited and ready to embark on their amazing educational journey of knowledge, competency and discovery.”
