The comparative Asian Studies (CAS) PhD Programme welcomed its first batch of students in Semester 1 of Academic Year 2014/2015. The cohort consists of students from East, South and Southeast Asia who come to FASS with an interest in pursuing research topics that are situated in at least two area-studies regions/cultural zones. CAS students benefit from specially tailored modules (open to all FASS graduate students), language training, and the opportunity to work with members of FASS’s robust Asian Studies community. The programme also launched a new website in December 2014. The revamped website features programme information and profiles of students and participating FASS faculty members.

“The PhD (by Research) programme offered by the NUS Department of Psychology gave me the opportunity to further my interest in Social Pscyhology, develop my ideas and grow intellectually as a researcher. I was privileged to have had the chance to interact with many other researches both locally and internationally during the course of my study. Apart from the conducive learning environment at NUS, I am especially grateful for the support from my supervisor, other faculty members and the teaching and administrative staff from the Psychology Department. They were integral in making my journey truly enriching and enjoyable.”

“The Masters in Applied Economics programme has allowed me to expand my knowledge on various economic disciplines and to think critically on how to analyse real world issues using economics. More importantly, I have benefited greatly from the research experiences and guidance of my professors, stimulating discussions with my classmates as we scramble to complete our projects, and illuminating department seminars attended. I am excited to apply the economic tools that I’ve learnt in my future work.”
