Personally, this course has guided me in carving my career path as a budding researcher. Not only it has dramatically improved my scientific skills and knowledge, I was able to expand my network with other internal and external lecturers through lectures. As a researcher, I have learned through this programme that without networking, the research field would not be what it is today. Each lecture in this programme was taught by experts in their respective fields and were of high quality. Apart from this, the valuable group discussions that I had during these lectures have driven me to indulge further into research.

The major highlight of my MSc programme has been the research community at UCSI University. The research team consisting of lecturers and senior PhD and MSc students were always selfless when it comes to assisting any student in ways to enhance their development. I had the opportunity to obtain feedback of my research from various members of the team and not only are they warm and welcoming but their inputs have allowed me to improve the quality of my research. In my opinion, perseverance is the key to becoming a sound researcher and UCSI has made it possible for me to achieve my goals effortlessly.
