Most Physics students departed Junior College at 8:30 a.m. on a shared coach with a group of Biology students, while a few others joined the group directly at the University’s Gateway Building. The Physics students were accompanied by Mr Kevin Mizzi and Mr Samad Mujeeb.
The first stop was the Faculty for the Built Environment, where the group was warmly welcomed by Dr Odette Lewis. She delivered an insightful presentation on the courses offered within the faculty and on the career opportunities available in the field. Two additional lecturers also addressed the students, sparking discussions about the students’ aspirations and motivations related to this profession.
The Physics students then proceeded to the Faculty of Engineering, where they were greeted by Dr Ing. Stefania Cristina, who provided an introductory overview. This was followed by talks from two other lecturers who explained different engineering specializations, after which students were given the opportunity to visit various laboratories.
Later, the group attended talks-by two academics from the Institute of Earth Sciences, and finally, some students proceeded to the Faculty of Health Sciences, where they listened to a presentation delivered by Prof Carmel Caruana.
These visits offered students valuable exposure to university life and academic disciplines, enabling them to make more informed decisions about their future studies and careers. By interacting directly with academics and current students, they gained a deeper understanding of the professions they are considering pursuing.
