The 5-year marketing PhD experience in marketing department of Nanyang Business School was an invaluable experience in my life! I have learned and developed so much, both from a personal and scientific point of view. The most amazing aspect of marketing department of NBS is its collegial research environment. Through the frequent interaction with our excellent faculties and PhD fellows, I learned incredible lessons regarding research philosophy and methods, which provided me with the strong foundation I need to succeed in academia.

The PhD program at NBS was a truly transformative experience. Not only did I have access to all the resources that a world class University like NTU can provide, I also had excellent mentorship and training to flourish both as a researcher and as a teacher. I always felt that faculty and staff actively sought to provide the best learning environment for PhD students. I will be forever grateful for all the generosity, support, advice, and guidance I received from my advisors and faculty in the department for becoming an independent researcher.
