As my research topic was rather niche having deep connections to the banking industry, I was fortunate to have two supervisors( a seasoned researcher and retired bank deputy CEO) who hopped in whenever I sought guidance, even after working hours. I also had the opportunity to attend academic conferences in Australia and Italy. I was further blessed with the campus’ comprehensive electronic databases and a structured build-up of skill sets for junior researchers, attending various statistics and research skill workshops.”
