People’s Choice: What drives a person through an excruciating hike is the promised breathtaking view in the end. Similarly, I tread through this rocky called PhD in search of my own view in the end – the ability to make a powerful change.


Photography Competition

First started in 2014, the photography competition challenges postgraduate students to capture people’s interest and enthuse them about their postgraduate experience at the University of Nottingham Malaysia.

The announcement of winners and prize-giving were held during our annual Christmas celebration on 6 December 2018. A total of 17 contestants from various disciplines took part in this year’s competition. They showed what does motivation mean to them, what keeps them going, what makes them stay excited or passionate about their research and studies, and even what stops them from giving up.
