Why did you choose to pursue your postgraduate degree at Monash University Malaysia? Did it meet your expectations?

Teaching excellence and outstanding reputation are the main reasons for me to  join Monash University. By choosing Monash Malaysia, I am able to access to world-class education with an affordable course fee. Besides, studying MBIS allows me to prepare myself to enter into IT industry by providing me a strong IT foundation and exposing me to the latest technology trends. 

While at Monash, what type of opportunities did you participate in? (E.g. student exchange, clubs and societies, field trips, conferences, competitions, etc.)

I am the course representative of MBIS, acting as a bridge between students and the School and providing assistance in solving course-related issues faced by students. 

What did you like most about your student life at Monash? 

The thing I like the most about my student life at Monash is the people I met there. Although we are unable to have physical classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I am able to establish friendships with coursemates from diverse backgrounds through working together in collaborative assignments. 

What is your biggest career goal, or what is the difference you’d like to make?

In long term, I wish to develop into a position that allows me to apply the knowledges and skills that I’ve gained throughout my life to contribute immensely to the society and make the world a better place.
