These three pairs of twins not only share birthdays; their shared interests and passions have led them to pursue matching dreams at NUS.

Part of the graduating class of 2024, these twins specialising in food science and technology, computer engineering, and music share their experiences of learning, supporting and working with each other.

Michiryu Aquila and Michio Apollos: Enhancing public health through food science

A curiosity about a scientific discipline they were not exposed to before led fraternal twins Michio Apollos and Michiryu Aquila to pursue their undergraduate studies together at the Department of Food Science and Technology (FST) under the NUS Faculty of Science.

Mahadevan Swati and Mahadevan Svetha: Programming with purpose

At 10 years old, Mahadevan Swati and Mahadevan Svetha took their first step into the world of programming, learning how to code and design basic algorithms. “We found programming very interesting and engaging, because it requires us to think on our feet and solve problems as we go,” elaborated Swati.

With both their parents being IT professionals, the twins’ passion for technology “runs in their blood”, explained Swati, the older sister.

Zou Meng and Zou Zhang: Playing the same tune

For many, meeting a childhood idol would be a distant dream. Violinists Zou Meng and Zou Zhang, however, turned theirs into a reality when they chose to pursue their undergraduate studies in Music at the NUS Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music (YST). They will both be graduating with a Bachelor of Music with Honours (Distinction) on 18 July 2024.
