Leow Shuen Ling | Why CHS? Hear from our inaugural cohort!

Leow Shuen Ling plans on pursuing a double degree. She has had a passion for both Chemistry and History since secondary school - History for the stories, argumentation and debate, and Chemistry because it is like an intriguing micro puzzle. But she could not decide which one she likes more and wants to pursue further.

Not content to pursue either one in isolation, she says, “The beauty of CHS…is that it gives me more time to decide on my academic interests. The structural revamp and the common core curriculum create more points of overlap between seemingly contrasting disciplines. While history and chemistry appear to be an unconventional pair, the systematic nature of chemistry and fluidity of history perfectly complement each other.”

As someone with broad interests, Shuen Ling plans to ride the tide in interdisciplinary learning and enhance her employability when she eventually discovers the industry she wants to enter.
