Prince: Finally, my Doctoral study...

After accepting the most stupid excuse from UM [insufficient lecturer in the field of consumer behavior; hence they drop my application]; I certainly gazed at my computer, holding the phone in stupefaction, and gradually, frustrated & fed-up with UM system of management! [Hire more lecturer-lah please, not turning students away! Eventually your service should be inline with government action to wards increasing knowledge workers!]

I finally receive a letter of offer from Open University for PhD study, though, a bit more expensive than UM [UM= 13k, Open U= 20k], somehow better than Private College [Systematic = RM 65K]. My supervisor will be Dr. Ong who specializes in consumer behavior, and I will be joining September in take.

Now, Apart from hectically working my ass off in office, I am also bumming around for Education Loan or any type of financial aids I can get for my PhD; Well, I am totally financially exhausted for my engagement & new apartment, but I believe I will get over this soon… nothing is impossible though…

Good luck.

I left my PhD at UM halfway after 1 years because I had to follow my wife who's also doing her PhD here in the UK.

They only have 2 lecturers specialised in consumer behaviour and they are overloaded with existing PhD students.

yes, I agree with you. They should take in more lecturers.
