Chapter 5: Experience Sharing on Life in the University

These stories will provide an insight to participants on how does life as a postgraduate will be. Participants can always ask questions to get more ideas on the journey they have decided to embark on.

Chapter 6: Setting Own Course
As we know, the postgraduate study path is sometimes lonely, miserable, and even lost. Therefore, it is vital for the participants to know and expect the challenges and set a target for themselves. This final chapter is for everyone to understand what they are going to expect and establish a small circle to support each other when they take the postgraduate. The relationship can be retained by creating the ecosystem, and most information can be shared in the future.
