KAIST International Summer School Individual Research Programme, South Korea

Brian Wong Kit-fai | Year 4 Bachelor of Nursing (Full-time) student

During the summer, I had the opportunity for an exchange at KAIST – one of the top institutions in Korea. This was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. I engaged in a 4-week research internship in a neuroscience lab and got the chance to use high-tech machines to prepare mouse brain samples. Moreover, through the day-to-day activities with my lab mates, learning Korean became one of my “learning outcomes” which allowed me to know more about the culture of the country. After completing my research internship, I went sightseeing in Busan and enjoyed many local cuisines. Seafood is the best among them, which to my surprise cost only half the price of Hong Kong seafood. This trip is one of the most precious learning experiences in my university life and I would like to thank the School for giving me the chance.
