We have begun another academic year, and I would like to thank our exceptional staff, students and partners for the support over the past years. I am honoured to serve you all. The Faculty is on course to have great mentors, lecturers and scholars to produce graduates in the fields of bioscience who will be equipped with skills for creativity, communication, critical thinking, ethics, reasoning and problem-solving. The Faculty is focused on earning its recognition for academic excellence and innovation. It is my hope that you continue to support and rally behind each other to catapult the Faculty of Biosciences to greater heights by ensuring students and graduates have a strong and diverse set of skills to take up opportunities and challenges in this digital era. Let us be dedicated to the education of every single student as bearers of this essential responsibility.
