FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCESUCSI University’s Faculty of Applied Sciences provides smarter solutions for a smarter planet. Students and staff drive innovation on a daily basis and their research areas are as impressive as they are diverse. The suitability of local herbs in cancer treatment, the use of jellyfish toxins as therapeutic solutions, and the advancement of biology-based materials science are just a few of the many research endeavours at the Faculty.

This dynamic culture of scientific discovery is driven by the Faculty’s goal to develop effective biology-based technologies for application in everyday life. Nothing is ever taken for granted and each conjecture is thoroughly debated, assessed, tested, and refined. This rigorous commitment to excellence translates into results. The Faculty is making great strides in drug discovery, food and water safety, greater crop yield, cancer treatment, and the curing of diseases, among others, and the trend shows no signs of stopping.

Research is a central theme at the Faculty. Most of its academics are PhD holders who stand out in their respective disciplines. They actively publish in international research journals and you will benefit immensely from their supervision. Additionally, many have worked overseas at leading companies, research facilities and universities. They bring their vast scientific and industry network along with them and the Faculty ups things further by inking strategic tie-ups with some of the industry’s biggest brands, creating opportunities for students and staff. This is the engaging environment you will be stepping into.

You will think like never before. And you will love it as you evolve professionally through a multidisciplinary range of expertise and research. Ultimately, your experience at the Faculty will be rewarding. By learning from – and working alongside – experienced research mentors, you will develop new insights on how science can work for the betterment of all. You will utilise cutting-edge technology during your time here and you can be confident of achieving novel findings based on your mastery of applications. You will draw the smarter correlations as you analyse how biological systems function in response to external agents. And with an industry-acclaimed credential in science, you can be confident that doors will open wherever you go.

As one of the first Biotechnology education providers in the Malaysian private higher education sector, we have numerous strategic tie-ups with some of the world's biggest companies in science. This opens doors for students and staff through technology transfers, internship opportunities, numerous site visits, industry talks on campus, and, of course, job opportunities. Versatility is a hallmark of the programme — as a student of this programme, you will be addressing critical issues in biotechnology through the study of genetic engineering, pharmacology, fermentation technology, among others. You will complement your abiding interests in science with the market sense to translate academic mastery into business opportunities. And with a firm footing in both fields, doors will open wherever you go.

When I received my PhD, I thought to myself — how did I get here? What led me here? I knew that I always loved human genetics but why did I persevere? Having a faculty that inspired me through my formative scientific years at UCSI University helped tremendously! The constant provocation of scientific questions and the development of an analytical mind were the core of what I felt moulded me into pursuing a PhD and being the gene hunter that I am now.

DID YOU KNOW?

UCSI University is the first private university in Malaysia to offer a degree that covers the study of both freshwater and marine ecosystems.

BSc (Hons)Aquatic ScienceN/620/6/0002; 10-2019

Water covers more than 70% of the earth's surface. It is home to millions of aquatic species. And most importantly, it sustains human life. An invaluable resource must be managed responsibly and this programme was launched on this very basis. Addressing crucial issues in the aquatic ecosystem, the programme equips students with the know-how to develop solutions for an ever-changing planet.

You can look forward to developing a solid foundation in the basic sciences – analytical chemistry, microbiology, structural chemistry and statistics – before delving into the intensive study of environmental monitoring and assessment, aquatic biodiversity and taxonomy, principles in aquatic pollution and toxicology, among many others. You will also enjoy two different avenues of specialisation in your final year where you will opt for Aquatic Health and Management or Seafood Processing and Safety. Research is also an important component of the programme and you will have the opportunity to focus on ecosystem-based management, natural resources management, sustainable aquaculture, as well as impact of modernisation on natural ecosystems.

Define yourself at UCSI and keep the world's most vital resource flowing.

Since 2009, the Faculty has organised the Wholesome, Original and Well-balanced (W.O.W) Food Fair annually as a platform to showcase innovative food products made by Food Science with Nutrition students. This food fair was further expanded in 2012 by including various aspects of Biotechnology — an industry that was rapidly growing globally, leading to the establishment of the 1st Applied Science Week (ASW). The Faculty's Nutrition with Wellness and Aquatic Science programmes were later incorporated in 2016.

The event features a range of academic-based competitions, fun-filled activities, collaboration with industry players, and talks by distinguished and experienced speakers. Students are given the opportunity to showcase their food and beverage innovations as well as research findings.

Profits generated from the event is channelled to charitable bodies as a form of community support. Previous beneficiaries of our fundraising activities include Special Children Society of Ampang and Yayasan Sunbeams Home, among many others.

As the only local private university that offers aquatic science and aquaculture course, UCSI University has invested heavily in its new dry and wet labs equipped with aquarium tanks ranging from one to eight feet in length. The new facility is also home to the jellyfish kreisel tank, a carefully designed circular aquarium made specifically for jellyfish and seahorses that are sensitive to water pumps or even the corners of the tank itself.

Used for both teaching and research, this facility houses a wide range of instruments that are used to determine the physiochemical properties and sensory characteristics of food, as well as the ideal packaging for long term storage. High standards of hygiene are maintained to accurately simulate industry practices like GMP and HACCP.

Specially built to culture plant and animal cells, this facility is equipped with advanced imaging technology that enables researchers to visualise the cell growth and condition. A sterile environment is maintained to house the many instruments for culturing plant and animal cells including photosynthetic growth chambers, carbon dioxide incubators and biosafety cabinets.

This facility houses all the bacterial and fungal cultures used in research and teaching. Well-equipped to culture, store and contain microbes, the facility supports cutting-edge research in the areas of drug discovery, environmental health, food safety and antimicrobial therapies.

Equipped with an abundance of analytical instruments, this facility supports the analysis of biochemical enzymes, as well as organic and inorganic molecules. Training at the lab focuses on techniques that identify, quantify and separate components within natural and artificial materials.

This facility is used by students for plant-related research. Our research teams collect plant samples from various localities for chemical analysis and bioactivity studies. The lab is equipped with the latest research instruments including high-end liquid and gas chromatographs, a microencapsulator, and equipment for sample extraction and preparation.
