1 Nan Triveni Achnas
PhD student
Studying at ADM-NTU opens one
up to a plethora of knowledge due to
the availability world-class seminars,
talks by distinguished professors,
innovative and cutting-edge projects
by researchers as well as the high-
end facilities in the school. Added to
this is the availability of the resources
throughout the other schools and
faculties at NTU which allows a
student to conduct a multidisciplinary
education. I was also drawn by the
diverse and eclectic environment
of the school that is constantly on
the cusp of new technologies and
research.
2 Zu Orzu
MA (Research) student
ADM has allowed me to pursue a
path that is relevant to my research
interests. It has been a wonderful
07
experiential learning process in terms
of both theoretical and practical
components of doing research. As a
practitioner, I am able to supplement
my creative development with a
more theoretical understanding,
and vice versa.
The opportunity to work with ADM
faculty has definitely encouraged me
to be more critical. At the same time,
I am heartened by the chance to
experiment and open up to new
ideas and future studies.
Sharing a space with other graduate
students has also given me deeper
insight about other art and design
disciplines. Although being a graduate
student can be rather isolating at
times, I find myself constantly inspired
and bolstered by the research efforts
that my peers have undertaken.
No doubt, this has been a worthwhile
and most memorable academic
experience for me.

3 Mohammad Javad Khajavi
PhD student
I remember very well my first day at
NTU. I had just arrived in Singapore
and I went directly to the School of
Art, Design & Media where I was
going to start my graduate studies.
As I was looking at ADM’s building
with its marvelous architecture for the
first time, I was filled with excitement,
joy and hope. Now, four years have
passed, and still every night that
I go home I look at the building and
feel the same excitement, joy and
hope. But this time it is different.
I am excited and joyful of all the life
lessons that NTU taught me, and
I am hopeful of all the windows of
opportunity that studying at NTU
has opened up for me.

Graduating PhD student in
History and previous Chair
of HSS Graduate Student
Committee
Through the school’s support to provide
the necessary resources to ensure
optimal academic and social experience,
I was able to attend an exchange
program in Japan, a summer school in
China, an international conference in the
United Kingdom as well as represent
NTU twice at the St. Gallen Symposium
in Switzerland – a global gathering of
today’s political and economic leaders
and highly selective representatives from
the youth. Through these events, I was
able to expand my network, discuss
relevant issues and debates with people
from different backgrounds, and learn
from diverse perspectives and cultures.
Simply put, HSS has afforded me the
opportunity to expand my horizon and
accumulate varied learning experiences
in Singapore and across the globe.

2 Ms Zhang Hai Jie
PhD Graduate in Chinese
The journey to my PhD goes beyond
mere academic milestone. While my
knowledge has been enriched, the
biggest gain for me has been the
change in attitude in all areas of my life.
The diligence required in pursuing my
research has instilled in me the need to
establish facts, and to remain objective
in approaching any matter. This has a
direct bearing in my handling of news,
which is my job.
On another level, the pursuit of my
degree has also impressed on me the
need to have an open mind, and to see
things beyond the surface. Research
work has taught me that there are
many layers and dimensions to many
aspects of our lives. Most importantly,
the perspective of an issue can vary
greatly depending on one’s position.
That awareness has reinforced the need
to be less judgemental, and to be more
analytical and understanding.
In sum, I would say the pursuit of higher
studies goes beyond the academic
milestone. It has become a way of life.

Graduating MA student

Life as a graduate student in HSS
has been immensely fulfilling. Within
an academic year, I have had the
opportunity to present in two overseas
conferences and symposiums, in the
United Kingdom in 2015 and Japan
in 2016. Through HSS, I got to interact
with scholars from different intellectual
backgrounds, explore new countries,
gain new cultural perspectives. I also
collaborated with two other HSS student
editors on a book, “This is how you
walk on the moon” – an anthology of
experimental fiction that taps on both
emerging and experienced voices
from people all around Singapore and
overseas which was published in 2016.

1 Oei Chie Ming, Adam
PhD Graduate in Psychology
I graduated from NTU with a PhD in
Psychology in 2015. Looking back,
the time spent at HSS helped develop
me as an independent researcher.
My advisor was very encouraging and
helped me to think beyond my research
interests. Moreover, the grad level courses
that I took were rigorous and looking
back definitely helped prepare me for
my current work. My fondest memories,
however, were the relationships with
my peers which allowed us to share our
journey and milestones in our studies.
Fond memories indeed!
2 Liu Hengshuang
PhD Graduate in Psychology
In the last 5 years, what I always
appreciate is that the school will
never leave any student unattended.

hand… As an oversea student, I can literally
feel what the school has done to make me
feel more at home… There are so many
earnest moments that I will definitely store
them in my deepest heart forever no matter
where I will be in the future.

The school is well-equipped with advanced
laboratories and academic resources critical
for implementing complex experimental

I have greatly benefited from intellectual
discussions and knowledge sharing from
dedicated professors and fellow students

I joined this programme with a desire to find
a cornerstone to explore data analytics and
communication research. The first semester
exposed me to various fundamentals of
data science and information management
such that I could already build on it. The
projects I did in my first semester gave
me confidence to inquire into a variety of
problems assuredly.
I love the syllabus and the flexibility, and
have chosen to pursue a dissertation in
machine learning and text analytics. I must
say the Graduate Legacy Fund Scholarship
has been an immense confidence booster
and encourages me to explore the world
with my newly equipped knowledge.

The Master of Mass Communication offered
by WKWSCI is a good complement to my first
degree in Environmental Engineering. It has
provided me with insights on communication
issues and practices.
With carefully selected texts and engaging
group discussions, we explored meaningful
exchange of ideas. Perhaps the most valuable
part of the programme is being taught by
leading experts in the communication field.
Besides developing IT knowledge, for example
the use of SPSS and R programming,
the programme also equipped me with soft
skills which I believe will prepare me for
my future appointments.
