INTRODUCTION

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is the highest research degree which involves an academic exercise to produce a research thesis under a close supervision of a faculty member (Supervisor). The PhD thesis produced should make scholarly significant contributions in the chosen field of study. Students also have the opportunity to develop and strengthen their research skills, explore their critical and analytical skill, expand networking or build collaborations on publications.

Students will be supervised by academic staff who will advise them on the direction and structure of the research throughout the entire PhD study. The students put forward a research topic of their interest and they can work on research projects based on their supervisors’ research interest. This should be mutual between supervisor and student. The main objective is to develop independent, skilful and successful researchers who can work on promising ideas, thus can conduct more researches independently upon their graduation. Following a successful proposal defense session, students would start to gather research data, analyse data and write their thesis. The conferment of the degree is subject to the successful completion of the thesis and viva voce. FM offers you a research experience that unleash your ultimate potential in shaping your future.
