Biology, with all its disparate sub-disciplines and branches, is both an art and a science - there is a great beauty involved in identifying and characterizing how life works – when you have the skills and knowledge to disentangle its mysteries. But, in order to start upon this marathon voyage of discovery, one must begin, just as on any journey, with the first step. And this step is, of course, education…with the right partner!

Your first step on this road to life science success is simple enough, and can be taken when you realise that the sought-after students and graduates are those "designed" to be rounded - possessing both practical skills and academic knowledge. There is more to education than simply obtaining letters after your name. The game and the goal are both much greater – it is all about consistently showcasing the talents and abilities you acquire, and developing the discipline and passion to continuously apply and upgrade them.

Life science is, indeed, a life tool and one that can, properly acquired, carefully nurtured and suitably applied, enable a career for life.

Success comes to those who believe, aspire and make the effort.

The life sciences industry is, and has always been, one that requires a considerable and combined skill and knowledge base, and this platform of ability (both academic and experiential) has been on a steeply inclined up-curve over recent years as more and more information is unraveled from the complexities of a burgeoning field. This is good news, as the technological advances arising through each new discovery have, consequentially, facilitated the further proliferation of the life sciences (particularly those branches concerning pharmaceuticals and biotechnology), so that industries in these sectors commonly experience significant growth despite downturns in other areas of the world's economies.

 It is from such an industry perspective, that the MDIS School of Life Sciences,  together  with our quality partners at the University of Bradford (UK) and Macquarie  University  (Australia), chose the programmes we offer you. Programmes that are  up- to-date,  relevant and rigorous – assuring recognition in both the current and future  employment  markets. Programmes which are facilitated by, and largely conducted in,  our  university- quality teaching labs. Programmes complemented by our  career- enhancing  co-curricular activities and the other support services we provide;  ensuring you of an  educational journey to culminate in the company of our current  alumni - high-quality (and  employed!) graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary for the world's growing  demands in the disparate fields of the life sciences.

 It is, therefore, with great pleasure and encouragement that we, at the School of Life  Sciences, welcome you to take that first step; embark upon the educational journey of  your life with MDIS.

 MDIS has launched a series of new IT courses to enhance your knowledge and  prepare  you for the future. We have provided for basic to ceritificate courses to  upgrade your  skills.

 Think you don't need an IT certification? Think again. In this economic climate, being  certified has gone from nice to necessary.

 As for professionals who want or need to switch jobs, up-to-date certifications will be  more important than ever. For those who fear layoffs, these certificates serve as a visible  demonstration of commitment to the profession and the job - a commitment that could  make the difference between being a layoff survivor or a victim. Of course, some  certifications provide more protection than others. Rate the Microsoft MCSE and the CCNA  (Cisco Certified Network Associate) as the most likely to provide job security and get  ahead.

We are able to apply for subsidy/government funding if you are company-sponsored or retrenched. Use this opportunity to train yourself better for your future. You owe this to yourself!
