I applied to NUS because of its reputation for quality research and curriculum. On a typical day as an accounting PhD student, I read research, work on data and discuss my studies with schoolmates and professors. What I enjoy the most as a PhD student here is the highly collaborative environment with my professors and peers – they provide great insights to my work.

I was a PhD student at NUS Business School between 2002 and 2008. It is true that pursuing a PhD means plenty of solitary time working and struggling in my office or at the kitchen table, but the best resources that NUS offers me are in fact people and an intellectual network. Being a student with the Department of Strategy & Policy, I benefited from interactions with a culturally diverse and academically distinguished set of faculty. Being a student here, I was also fortunate enough to interact with some of the world’s greatest minds from both academic and corporate worlds. This is exactly how I developed my PhD dissertation. The journey has been challenging but it has also been a truly rewarding experience.

The PhD programme at NUS Business School is truly world class.

The NUS PhD programme provides an opportunity for students to conduct quality research.

I’m one of the early batch of PhD graduates from NUS Business School. In a PhD programme, what’s important is the research environment, and the academic and support staff involved. In the NUS Business School programme, these boxes are often ticked and well resourced. The research environment is one that encourages high levels of intellectual exchange. Academic staff and other PhD students come from well-known universities and arrive at the same institution to exchange ideas and work collaboratively. You will have no shortage of people providing ideas and feedback. The supervisors are of high quality and supervision standards are good. The great supporting staff are always there to ensure all processes and arrangements are smooth. The PhD programme can be said to be less lonesome than those in many other institutions. I have enjoyed my time here and made many friends in the process. We are still in touch over the last decade or so, despite residing in different continents.

As the top-ranked school in Asia, NUS Business School provided me with an opportunity to pursue academic studies amid this transformation. NUS students have access to professors renowned for their research excellence and academic qualifications from schools across the world. Here, supervisors work very closely with their students to develop their research skills. I am also able to meet students from different nationalities, exposing me to diverse cultures and ideas.

I joined the NUS PhD programme five years ago, the first two years of the programme focused on theory and course work, while the remaining three years really honed my practical research capabilities and methodologies. Throughout this time, I worked closely with my supervisors who provided me with invaluable advice and guidance on effective learning and research skills. Collaborating with an international group of students also created an environment for sharing different experiences and ideas. I truly believe that my NUS Business School PhD journey has provided me with the right knowledge and skills, laying a strong foundation that allowed me to take on a job at City University of Hong Kong.

We were learning from renowned international scholars and students. And finally, NUS gave me access to one of the best supportive environments (scholarships, conference funding, etc.) to enable learning. The whole experience was truly exceptional and has given me a lifelong memory to cherish. I am proud to be an NUS alumnus.

I felt very proud that I could be accepted as a PhD student in Department of Finance 5 years ago. From then on, a new window of exploring new edge of knowledge and seeking truth has been opened for me. I enjoyed my PhD journey in the programme, although sometimes it was quite challenging.

I will definitely benefit from this for the rest of my life.
