The best part of my Master program had taught me a lot of knowledge that not only in theory part and also improved my scientific knowledge and research skills. In my research project which using a molecular technique to identify bacteria in the water of Aquaponics. From this research, it has opportunities for me to apply the theory learned from the lecture to generate new knowledge through research.  The lectures also are very high quality and share their expert knowledge during the lecture.

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.

“Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” Those are the words that push me to who I am today. It is definitely not an easy road when I decided to further my study and to step out of my comfort zone. It is true on the saying “no pain, no gain!” Throughout my master degree in UCSI University, I have learned to be independent and never give up. I experienced many failures and do not get the results I wanted. Likewise, I learned to strive further, do more literature studies and solve the problems I encountered.
