They also encouraged the students to enjoy their studies and treasure every moment of their university days.

At the end of the orientation for the undergraduate students, Mr. Zihan WEI, President of FHS Students’ Association, introduced the structure and aims of the association, and the upcoming events to the students. Subsequent to the orientations, Heads and Associate Heads of Department of Biomedical Sciences, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Department of Public Health and Medicinal Administration held independent online sessions for UG students of the three academic programmes, providing the students with information and resources that will allow them to make pertinent academic plans.
