It's an awesome programme! I gained lots of new experiences and I forged lasting relationships with my friends and lecturers.
MSc Biotechnology
I chose a different university (i.e. UCSI University) for my postgraduate studies because it provides a conducive learning and research environment and there are lecturers with varied qualifications in the Faculty of Applied Sciences.
My course of study (Master’s in Biotechnology by coursework) basically comprises 40 credits of coursework on different aspects of biotechnology, research planning and academic communication as well as 8 months of research. Generally, my research focuses on providing alternative methods to control bacterial infections apart from antibiotic therapy. At the end of this course, I would have sharpened my skills as an independent researcher capable of designing and conducting a research project and then skilfully communicating my findings.
DBA
In undertaking thisprogramme, I hope to gain advanced skills in business scientific research methods and the critical thinking process, which is pertinent for an effective evaluation of existing models and theories. I hope to discover the philosophical foundations of the thoughts behind the current practices adopted in business and public administration.
A DBA in UCSI University will aid my ability to contribute meaningfully towards solving business world problems.
MBA
I chose to pursue my master’s degree in the same university i.e. UCSI University due to its unique and flexible course structure. The MBA course here is an integration of Blue Ocean Strategy modules – the major differentiator from other MBA course provider. The lectures are organised after working hours and the selection of customised modules boldly underscore the flexibility of the course structure. In addition to this, UCSI University provides quality lecturers and excellent facilities that maximise my study experience.
I choose to become a full-time student due to two main reasons: (1) affordable fees and I received MyMaster Scholarship from the government; and (2) to ensure a more comprehensive learning process. The benefit of full-time studying is the flexible learning experience. For example, I can meet with lecturers during office hours. However, the main challenge of studying full-time is the heavy workload but I believe this can be overcome through enhanced time management abilities.
