"Postgraduate degree has helped me understand my work better as it
involves a lot of report churning which sometimes can be overwhelming.
However, the knowledge that I've gained from this Master program has
helped me understand the numbers behind the report and improve my

" 学习更高层、更深入研究学问的方法，硕士学位只是一个学习研究方法的养成教育，对于一个真正深入的研究课题，应该是在博士学位中要挑战的。学习如何寻找值 得研究的课题以及如何展开研究课题，这个过程是艰辛的，但是当遇见光明时，却是令人雀跃而兴奋的。对于‘研究学问’这件事情，对一个有兴趣研究学问的人而 言，这条路是永无止尽"

"这段学习的过程，对个人有非常巨大的帮助。首先在于指导教授的指导方法，除了帮助并克服研究课题过程中的种种问题外，同时个人也学会了如何分析、研究及解决的方法。这除了对个人未来研究之路奠下良好基础外，更将大大的助长个人将来从事教育工作的能力"

"In 2010, as I turned 50, I decided that it was right time to ‘reward’ myself. I chose to do MBA because it offers a well-rounded scope and is more practical and relevant for me personally. After working in industry for more than 26 years I wanted a change, and an MBA degree will open more career options for me. I wanted to explore a career in professional training or academia. A master degree will definitely place me in a better position to make that transition."
