His prospective major is global affairs with minor in economics.

Before coming to Yale-NUS College, Htet Myet studied at Practising High School, Yangon University of Education, also known as TTC, one of the most prestigious public high schools in Myanmar.

Htet Myet is the first to be selected as a Luyeechun for three consecutive years (2016-2017-2018) in his school and one of the few in Myanmar who was a three-time Luyeechun and at the same time made into the country’s top-ten list in the matriculation exam.

Recently, Htet Myet interned at ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute (formerly Institute of Southeast Asian Studies), a Singapore-based think-tank on ASEAN’s socio-political, security, and economic issues. There, he co-authored three articles on Myanmar’s new military regime or the State Administration Council (SAC). He also interned at Myanmar Institute of Strategic and International Studies (MISIS), a foreign policy think-tank working in tandem with Myanmar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in 2019.
