6. Brief Description of Course Content:
This course aims to equip doctoral students with different topics in development economics and economics in general by asking them to attend seminars. Ph.D students will select seminars, which are organized by UEH or other institutes, attend and write a short report with comments about the topic of the seminar. The doctoral students are expected to be exposed to diverse topics, approaches, research techniques as well as other parts of research like presentation skills and the presenter itself. This process would help the doctoral students to acquire the research diversity and network that potentially benefit their future academic career.
