UPDATE: Here is Wei Vern’s recap of the talk she gave (her own blog).
If you are a secondary school student and would like to know more about getting a Petronas engineering scholarship for local study or if you’re a working adult looking to pursue a Master’s degree with a Chevening scholarship in the UK, you need to attend this talk.
Our speaker, Ms Hor Wei Vern, was a Petronas scholarship holder and recently secured a Chevening scholarship for a full year of study in the UK. She will share her experiences in applying for these 2 scholarships as well as offer deeper insights on their application processes.
About our speaker, Miss Hor Wei Vern:
Hor Wei Vern graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree from Universiti Teknologi Petronas via the Petronas Sponsorship Programme. She obtained the prestigious Chevening scholarship and will be leaving for the UK to pursue a Master’s degree in Sustainable Energy Systems at Queen Mary University of London this September.
She has been working for Petronas for the last 5 years as a Mechanical Rotating Engineer, specialising in energy optimisation in carbon capture and storage projects. When she is not working, she dabbles in copywriting and web design projects.
