FOM Promotes Stronger Postgraduate Research Culture Through Academic Engagement Initiative

An online postgraduate sharing session was held recently to strengthen research supervision practices and enhance the overall postgraduate experience for Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Management students.

Centred on the theme “The Power Duo: Mastering the Supervisor-Student Partnership,” the session focused on building effective supervisory relationships as a key driver of successful research outcomes.

The session highlighted practical strategies to improve communication, align expectations, and foster constructive collaboration between supervisors and students throughout the research journey. These elements were emphasised as essential in supporting timely progress, research quality, and academic confidence among postgraduate researchers.

Participants, comprising both postgraduate students and academic staff, actively engaged in the discussion, reflecting strong interest in strengthening supervisory engagement within the faculty’s research ecosystem.

Coordinated by Dr. Sellywati Mohd Faizal, with the support of Prof. Dr. Tan Booi Chen, Dean of Faculty of Management (FOM) and Dr. Kwan Jing Hui, the initiative underscores the faculty’s commitment to enhancing postgraduate research culture through structured academic development activities and capacity-building efforts.
