“Well-structured programme”
The PhD programme at the Department of Analytics & Operations, NUS Business School, had provided me so much more than I could’ve imagined when I first started my study in 2014. During my time in the programme, I was very fortunate to learn from and work closely with many extremely brilliant and eminent professors. The well-structured programme with continued and priceless support from the faculty members, especially my supervisors, helped me discover my academic passion and prepared me well as a researcher. I enjoyed all moments we shared as colleagues, co-authors, and friends.

“Journey of self-discovery”
The PhD programme at NUS Business School is truly world-class. The programme is more of a self-discovery process by continuously challenging oneself with a variety of problems; the student realises his or her strengths and weaknesses. The NUS PhD programme provides an opportunity for students to conduct quality research.
