The new postgraduate research scholarships,
available for students pursuing Master of Science (Management) or Doctor of
Philosophy; are funded by the Malaysian Government through the Fundamental
Research Grant Scheme (FRGS) and Exploratory Research Grant Scheme (ERGS).
Scholarships cover the cost of the students'
tuition fees and welcome applicants of all nationalities, although fees may
vary for international students.
Alongside receiving full funding for their tuition
fees, students on the scholarship programme will be assigned positions as
research assistants to principal investigators working at the university on a
number of research projects, including service innovation, halal supply chain,
social network development, sustainability management, economic & social
indicators, emotional labour, service commercialization and transgenerational
entrepreneurship. Students will be required to balance their studies with their
work, and the latter can make them eligible for a stipend towards their living
costs.
Such an influx of research assistants will be a
great boost for UNIRAZAK, which is steadily positioning itself as a research
university in the areas of business and management and already boasts an
impressive number of specialists developing projects and conducting research
onsite.
Having a research role alongside their studies
will also be a superb experience for postgraduate students, allowing them to
gain practical experience on research projects and industry knowledge that
could prove beneficial for their future careers.
Anyone interested in learning more about this
programme or applying for a research scholarship on either the Master of
Science (Management) or the Doctor of Philosophy postgraduate course should
contact Dr. Dewi A. Sapuan on dewi@unirazak.edu.my before 29 July, citing
"2013-2014 UPRS" in the subject line.
