Assalamualaikum and hello everyone. My name is Azhar, and I am from Putrajaya, Malaysia.  I have a bachelor’s degree in engineering (manufacturing) from International Islamic University Malaysia. That was more than 15 years ago and makes me kind of nervous to be a student, again.

I am a PTD officer and have previously been assigned to the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment, and Climate Change (NRECC) in the Electricity Supply Division. I am very grateful to have this opportunity to further my study in the area of sustainability as I believe this is the right way for us to move forward.

Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Qianwen, you can call me Helen.

My bachelor’s degree is Business English and I had 8 years’ work experience about nature education.

I am also a mother of two children, and when I decided to apply for this grogramme one year ago, I had a lot of psychological struggles and I wondered if it was worth it to leave my children behind and go to study in a foreign country on my own. But I still came, and I think even as a mother, you should learn for life-long, pursue something, and be a role model for your children.

As the dean said that day, coming here is a journey, not a destination. I set three goals for this journey. The first one is to graduate in one year and get at least A grades in all courses, the second is to develop an app or mini program related to nature education, and the third is to keep fit and lose 10 pounds before graduation, so I have made a daily exercise plan.

Hopefully, by the time we graduate, each of us will be better than we are now.

Hello Hi everyone! My name is Hew Jie Ni, you can call me Jieni.
I'm Malaysian, born and raised in Ipoh, Perak, a beautiful town with great food and majestic cave temples. I'm a marine science graduate of Universiti Malaysia Terengganu and served as an intern at the Minerals and Geoscience Department Malaysia, Perak for four months.
I always had a strong interest in the marine environment and also conservation and preservation of the environment. What is more, such interest and passion drove me to earn an open water diving license issued by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), which subsequently let me discover what clear water has to offer. Having learned about the prolific marine and coral life, I reckon that sustainable development is one of the keys to maintaining as well as continuing life on Earth.
Since this is a rising trend at this stage, more and more countries and corporations will be focusing on this direction, I feel that this program meets my interest, and also guarantees my future employment possibilities to a certain extent.
In my spare time, I enjoy planting flowers with my mum and walking my dogs. I have a Boxer dog and a Beagle, named Iceberg and Tofy, respectively.
This is a new journey, and I hope everyone gains joy and growth!

Henlo! It's Athirah, a 21-year-old born and bred Malaysian. I recently graduated from the University of Nottingham Malaysia with a BSc (Hons) in Economics, producing a dissertation on monetary policy adjustments to climate change.

After establishing an interest in sustainability during the penultimate year of my undergraduate degree, I began taking part in various youth-led organisations, such as the Malaysian Youth Delegation, and pursued my mission to tackle climate change. Besides that, I wholly enjoy jalan2-ing, listening to music and being vocal on Twitter :P

During the day, I intern at Accenture as an analyst in the Health & Public Service industry where I deal with the public sector in cloud and sustainability.

Greetings, It's a pleasure to introduce myself – Nandakumaran, though you can simply call me Nanda. Recently, I proudly walked away with my Bachelor's degree in Environmental Health. But guess what? That was just the beginning of my journey.

After less than a year of experiencing the working world, I stumbled upon the captivating realm of sustainability. My quest for knowledge led me to explore free online courses and resources, feeding my growing fascination. But the real jackpot was when I found this marvelous master's program.

Hi there, I am Zhou Jinwei,but you can call me awei. I'm from Shanxi, a province in northern China. My academic journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Energy and Power Engineering from Shanxi University. After graduating, I spent two years working in a state-owned enterprise before embarking on my current path, pursuing a Master's degree in Sustainableity of Science.

My background in engineering provided me with a strong foundation in technical knowledge, and my work experience allowed me to witness the practical applications of science. This unique perspective has fueled my curiosity about the social aspects of science and how scientific knowledge is generated, disseminated, and influenced by various factors.

Beyond my academic interests, I am a passionate cyclist, long-distance runner, and an avid reader. These activities not only keep me physically active but also stimulate my intellectual and creative thinking. I believe that the Sociology of Science course will enable me to explore the intricate relationship between science and society, and I am excited to delve deeper into this field.
I look forward to engaging in thought-provoking discussions and collaborative learning experiences in this course.
