Choosing a career path is often a daunting journey, especially right out of high school. As a Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) graduate, I had little idea of what direction to pursue. I knew I wanted to make a positive impact on the community, particularly in healthcare, but the specific path was still unclear.
When I attended IMU’s Open Day, it marked a turning point. The event opened my eyes to the diverse courses available, and I was able to gain guidance on what might align with my interests.
Among all the courses, dietetics stood out. My love for food initially sparked my curiosity, but it was the science behind food, nutrition, and its impact on health that truly captivated me. I wanted to delve into how dietary choices influence well-being, manage health conditions, and ultimately, promote a healthier lifestyle in communities. IMU offered the unique blend of knowledge, support, and practical experience I was looking for to turn my passion into a career.
