Industrial Advisory Panel
In order to apply outcome based learning and teaching into the Biological Sciences programme, the school has setup an Industrial Advisory Panel made up of selected representatives in the private and public sectors that employ our students. By following the recommendations from these panel members, SBS is able to stay on track with future industry developments and adapt our courses to provide better training to the students for greater employability. This close networking ensures expert advices on strategic initiatives that are in the pipeline particularly in Singapore and Asia.
