When Dreams Take Flight: Phoenix Talks at 91Թ
November 3, 2025
At 91Թ (IGBIS), we believe that a truly transformative education isn’t confined to a single programme or a classroom. It’s about creating an entire ecosystem of opportunity where every student can explore their passions and build their future. This philosophy was brought to life this summer when two of our IB Diploma Programme (DP) students, Anlan and Nate, completed a prestigious two-week medical research internship at the International Medical University (IMU) – Malaysia’s premier private medical and healthcare university.
This unique opportunity, made possible through our IBCP dual-enrolment partnership with IMU, demonstrates how the walls between programmes at IGBIS are designed to be permeable. It’s a testament to our belief that real-world experience is a vital part of every student’s journey, whether they are on the career-focused CP or the academically rigorous DP.
From DP Classroom to IMU Laboratory
For Anlan, who has always been fascinated by biology and chemistry, the internship was a chance to test her academic knowledge in a professional setting. Her days were filled with hands-on lab work – preparing cell cultures, assisting with protein analysis through Western blotting, and practicing Gram staining techniques for bacterial identification.
“It was challenging but exciting,” she shared. “Every step required precision and focus. I learned not just about science, but also about time management, responsibility, and staying organised under pressure – skills we constantly develop in the DP, but now I was applying them in a completely new context.”
The internship provided more than just technical skills; it offered invaluable mentorship. Anlan’s experience was guided by a dedicated IMU professor, who provided not only technical training but also strategic advice about learning and future career development.
The IGBIS Advantage: One School, Multiple Pathways
So, how do two DP students land a coveted internship through a CP partnership? The answer lies in the IGBIS advantage.
Our IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) is the engine that forges these deep, strategic partnerships with world-class institutions like IMU, SCAD, Embry-Riddle, and others. These partnerships are a core part of the CP pathway, providing direct avenues for career-related learning.
However, at IGBIS, these partnerships are treated as a school-wide resource. We foster a culture where all students are encouraged to seize these opportunities. For motivated DP students like Anlan and Nate, this means they can complement their deep academic study with tangible, resume-building experiences that give them a critical edge in university applications and beyond.
This unique ecosystem ensures that IGBIS students don’t just study – they explore, experiment, and grow into confident, future-ready leaders, regardless of the programme they choose.
Why This Matters for Parents
Stories like Anlan’s and Nate’s show that IGBIS is more than a school – it’s a dynamic launchpad. We provide an environment where students can:
✅ Apply rigorous academic learning in real-world, professional contexts.
✅ Access exclusive partnerships with leading universities and global organizations.
✅ Discover their passions and confirm their future goals through direct experience.
✅ Graduate with more than a diploma; they graduate with confidence, practical skills, and a story that sets them apart.
For Anlan, her time at IMU was transformative. “This experience reinforced my desire to pursue higher-level studies in Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology,” she reflected. “It gave me clarity and confidence about my future goals.”
