“It always seem impossible until it’s done”- Nelson Mandela

Are you facing difficulties during your PhD study?
Feeling like your path to PhD is a lonely journey?
Or you have just had your Viva and have lots of experience to share with others?
Come and join this special event for aspiring, current and future doctorates!

Completing a PhD is an odyssey. In fact, successfully undertaking a PhD degree requires self-determination, diligence, and the capacity for critical but constructive thinking as well as a thorough understanding of the relevant academic discipline.

PhD Forum aims to provide a setting for mutual feedback on participants' current research projects and guidance on future research directions.

The PhD Forum:
1) is an opportunity for participants to discuss their research interests and career objectives
2) will be the hub to develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research support for a new generation of researchers
3) offers advice and tips about academic, research, industrial, and non-traditional career paths

This program will be divided into two parts: two Keynote Addresses by two eminent professors and the PhD Forum. Participants will also be given the opportunity for a Q&A session.

1) Prof Dr Ahmad Fauzi Ismail (Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research & Innovation), UTM)

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)
Title: The PhD Odyssey: Challenges at Local and International Universities
