For Mei, the education she's received at UPH was a determining milesone. “With excellent education, an employee will be able to give their best wherever God entrusts them to be. The same applies to me, thus the decision to continue pursuing a qualified, relevant, and of the highest possible level education at UPH,” Mei confirms. Mei also expresses that she would love to pursue Masters of Nursing at UPH in the future.
