This programme is&nbsp;quite affordable, yet it offers highly relevant curriculums and the lecturers are highly experienced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-your-most-memorable-moment-here-at-mdis\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_your_most_memorable_moment_here_at_MDIS\"><\/span><strong>What is your most memorable moment here at MDIS?<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my memorable moments in MDIS was when I had the opportunity to visit Google HQ in Singapore as a member of the MDIS Google Developer Student Club. At the time, Google was hosting a workshop to introduce the Flutter Framework which our club president was able to enrol us in. It was a unique experience to learn the new technology in Google Developers Space together with hundreds of other developers and students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-the-one-thing-you-can-take-back-from-your-experience-at-mdis\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_one_thing_you_can_take_back_from_your_experience_at_MDIS\"><\/span><strong>What is the one thing you can take back from your experience at MDIS?<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing I learned while studying at MDIS is that it is necessary to have friends. We not only had to participate in group projects but also had to discuss with friends to work on individual assignments. We shared what we had researched, read and learned to get the best out of us. Honestly, without friends, it could have been a lot harder for me to succeed in my study.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"417\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cho_1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cho_1-1.jpg 417w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cho_1-1-246x300.jpg 246w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cho_1-1-400x488.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 417px) 100vw, 417px\" \/><figcaption>Cho Oo Wai, MDIS Alumnus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-are-you-currently-pursuing-now-after-graduating-from-mdis\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_you_currently_pursuing_now_after_graduating_from_MDIS\"><\/span><strong>What are you currently pursuing now after graduating from MDIS?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am currently employed as a Full Stack Web Developer at an airfreight booking company.

Even though, you&#8217;re already spending 12 hours per week in lecturers, the things that you do outside of class are equally important. Apart from studying courses, you can also engage in many activities as a student of MDIS. You can join student clubs, make new friends and participate in events. There are student clubs founded for various hobbies such as Badminton, Programming, Dancing, and Volunteering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cho Oo Wai graduated from MDIS in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science (Hons) Information Technology.
