“Studying S&T has broadened my horizon and given me good understanding of what S&T really is in human life. The subjects offered are diverse, yet customized to the demand of technology. The combination of philosophy and modern science blended with religion provides a holistic approach to problem management. In a nutshell, S&T has changed me mentally and spiritually.”
