Who hasn’t heard of Elon Musk? People with internet access must have at least heard of this man once. He is known to be the CEO of Tesla, a car manufacturer and the initiator of SpaceX. But do you know the history of education behind this infamous person?
Elon Musk, born in South Africa, has obtained a Bachelor of Physics and Economics. He then progressed to a postgraduate study in physics. But did you know that he never finished his second degree before he invested himself in developing PayPal? Either way, Elon has proven that the education, both formal and informal, that he took prior to his career is enough to stimulate him into becoming a man who doesn’t follow ordinary paths but strives to do new things, the unthinkable and those beyond society today.
Now, do you have a passion for physics and modern technology and dream of building your own technological empire like Elon Musk? Follow his path and start your education in Bachelor of Physics at one of the top universities, such as: Australian National University or University of Cambridge
Another significant development in internet technology was the establishment of YouTube. Jawed Karim, a former PayPal employee, obtained a Bachelor of Computer Science before he engineers YouTube with two of his colleagues.

Tu Youyou is a pharmaceutical chemist whose visionary research on malaria treatment is rooted in ancient Chinese medicine. Her discovery of artemisinin, a compound that quickly reduces the number of Plasmodium parasites in the blood of patients with malaria, has saved millions of lives and won her and her two colleagues a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine joint award.
As a pharmacology student, Youyou learned to classify medicinal plants, extract active ingredients, and determine their chemical structures. Early in her career, she spent years in the rainforests of South China, studying the devastating consequences of malaria and ancient medical texts about traditional Chinese treatments for the disease. After years of research, Youyou and her team finally found a reference to sweet wormwood, which had been used in China around 400 AD to treat intermittent fevers, a symptom of malaria. They extracted the active compound artemisinin, tested it, and published their findings.
“Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world,” Tu Youyou.
Do you have the same interest in chemistry and pharmaceuticals as Madam Tu YouYou? These degrees from Monash University Malaysia or Trinity College Dublin might be the right options for you.
