University of Health and Allied Sciences - UHAS Speciality : Biological Sciences
programme: Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry

Studying at UHAS was definitely a unique journey. Since it’s still a relatively new university, I felt like they are still in the process of building their foundation. The course I studied was also quite new, so there were times when courses were added or removed along the way, which made it hard for us to get guidance from our seniors.
One thing I really noticed was how intense the academic schedule was, we had tests almost every week, which didn’t leave much room for extracurricular activities. But on the positive side, I liked that we wrote multiple tests and only our best scores were selected. This system really helped improve our final grades. I also appreciated how much they encouraged internships at the end of the academic year. Our performance as interns was graded and even counted toward our GPA, which motivated us to take the internships seriously while also boosting our academic record.
What I didn’t like, however, was the grading system. It was much higher compared to other universities, and that really affected our classifications. It felt a bit unfair at times, especially knowing that students in other schools could graduate with higher classes even with lower grade points.
Still, I would recommend UHAS. The school taught us to always be prepared for tests and exams, which kept us on our toes, and they provided ways to improve our grades aside from just final exams. The teaching system was strong, and it helped us stand out compared to students from other universities.
Overall, my time at UHAS came with its challenges, but it also shaped me into a more disciplined and persistent person, and I’m grateful for the experience.
