I enrolled in AeU’s DBA degree programme in December 2012 and graduated in 2018. At age 30, I happen to be the youngest DBA graduate in AeU.

I have the ambition to seek further understanding in the business of training and skills development and to upgrade my quality of teaching delivered and to ensure high quality standards are improved and maintained. I choose AeU because it offered distance learning DBA programme with a flexible blended mode of learning where I can study from my hometown without giving up on my career.
The quality of my supervisor assigned by AeU is great. I can approach my supervisor through email or face to face appointment. The academic facilitators are very professional and knowledgeable with education and industry experiences.
The biggest challenges faced during my DBA study was time management when I have to arrange for flights to AeU Kuala Lumpur campus for a few mandatory assessments, attend the colloquium and meet my supervisor. As a full-time employee, I have to plan an itinerary to balance my time between my family, work and study without affecting my college duties. I was able to overcome all the challenges by multitasking and delegating my work to others.
The most rewarding part of the DBA programme is the relevance of the subjects that focuses on theories and methodologies that are related to the competitive business environment and how business management thrives in the 21st century. The programme not only gave me knowledge and confidence but had also overcome my fears that had always held me back. The invaluable DBA qualifications had brought a new dimension into my life to achieve a successful career in the near future,” she testifies.
“My success is attributed to my family’s support, encouragement and assistance by AeU’s Dean, academic facilitators and staffs. It was a great learning experience for me and I would certainly recommend AeU’s programmes to others,” she concludes.
