Murdoch University Student (2017)
To remain competitive in today’s workforce, having a Degree has become increasingly important in the job market.
A Degree offers more job openings and more flexibility with which jobs I can apply for are the key reasons for pursuing a Degree. As I have my diploma from Nanyang Polytechnic, I was granted module exemptions and can complete my degree in 16 months instead of 28 months.
The great variety of Double Major Degree programmes offered by Murdoch University sparked my interest. It has over 250 Double Majors and 21 disciplines for me to choose from.

Bachelor of Commerce in Human Resource Management and
Management (Double Major)
Murdoch University Graduate (2017)
After I graduated from Republic Polytechnic with a Diploma in Sports and Leisure Management, I had a desire to go overseas to continue my studies, but I did not want to compromise my football career so I decided to stay in Singapore to continue my studies.
In preparation for my post-football career to open a football academy, I saw the importance of furthering my education. I took up a Bachelor’s Degree from Murdoch University.
The knowledge I have acquired from the two majors is highly useful. In the Human Resource Management major, we learnt about people management. This is relevant to many aspects including football, where it’s important for us to work well with people of diverse backgrounds.
As for the Management major, the knowledge and skill sets will be really handy when I am ready to start my football academy for the underprivileged after I retire from professional football.
Time management is critical to me. I need to juggle between the demands of daily training during football seasons and studies. I was worried about not being able to pass the exams because I did not have enough time for my studies due to football training conducted abroad.
I am grateful to my lecturers and classmates. They were understanding and supportive, even when I had to leave class early for competitions at times. Their dedicated guidance and help made it easier for me to catch up with lessons and assignments.
I am relieved to receive my Degree and I can now focus solely on the fields. I am training hard with our national team for the upcoming ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup 2018.
At the same time, I will continue to focus on opportunities that will help me grow and develop in other fields or organisations.
