interview with dr suzanne farid


UCL Department of Biochemical Engineering: Bringing Discoveries to Life.

i was coughing like hell a few minutes before the phone rang. i do get this when nervous.
8.05pm, my mobile phone rang~i'm just going to list down the questions that were asked:

1. how did you know about biochemical engineering?and why?
a typical question really..but since this is a new field, you might get trapped with what you say.

2. i've read your personal statement and learnt that you are really fond of biochemistry. how does it differ to biochemical engineering?highlight the overlapping between these two fields.
so, i blabbed about how biochemistry is about knowing living things in-depth while biochemical engineering is an extension of biochemistry. we don't acquire new knowledge but we strengthen our understanding in the basic concepts brought forth by biochemistry. and she added up about drugs, bio-drugs, chemo therapy and lotsa things. i did learn alot.

3. can you tell me about the body that is funding you with your studies?are you going to be attached to them after graduating?how many years are they planning to sponsor you in UK?
bullshitting time!!and i mean it.i should be embarassed of myself.i don't even know where will i go after graduation.*shame*

and she continued enlightening me with life there, london, the fascilities and lots os things that we'll be doing as a student in her department. how we're going to conduct practicals in international pharmaceutical companies and much more. i can't wait!!the intervie ended approximately 8.36pm.

insyaAllah..everything will be fine~will be hearing from them in a few weeks time.*nervous*
