The start of everything
The thing i always loved studied in Padjadjaran university how cool is it to learn in the university full of tree, since the space of Padjadjaran University (Unpad) is around 3.285,5 Hectare, it has a lot of space for tree, and that's what i like the most, everytime the class is done, im exit the class and i can feel the breeze, fresh air, and nice view of the university. not only that, Unpad has very adequate facilities, especially in its class, classes are facilitated with equipment that is very supportive for learning activities. One thing I don't like is that Unpad is so vast that it's hard to meet friends from other faculties because the distance is quite far between one faculty and another.
Chemistry Program with Valuable Lab Experience
Studying chemistry at the university gave me a solid academic foundation across the main areas of the discipline, including organic, analytical, physical, and inorganic chemistry. The curriculum balanced theoretical knowledge with laboratory work, which helped students develop practical skills and scientific thinking. I especially valued the research component of the program, where students could work on real projects and gain experience in laboratory techniques such as chromatographic separation and spectroscopic analysis. Another strength of the program is its focus on natural products and the study of compounds derived from local biodiversity. This provides students with opportunities to engage in meaningful research topics that are relevant to the region. There are still areas that could be improved, particularly in expanding access to more advanced analytical instruments and increasing international collaboration. Greater exposure to industry and global research networks would also benefit students. Overall, my experience was positive and academically enriching, and it prepared me well for pursuing further studies in chemistry.
Food Technology in a Nutshell
I like that there are many electives, as when I was pursuing bachelor degree, I was still looking for my passion. Through the electives, I get to learn what suits me the best.
