I chose to move to New Zealand to study at the University of Auckland because it s a world-ranked university and offers high-quality programmes. What I m particularly enjoying are the monthly roundtable discussions held by the Postgraduate Students' Association, where interesting topics are discussed and I get the opportunity to meet and chat with my fellow PhD students. The free workshops are also fantastic as they provide support to improve and excel in my studies. During the course of my study, I ve had an opportunity to present at an Applied Linguistics Association Conference in Wellington, which has helped me make more connections with other researchers and to improve on my research. Pursuing my PhD allows me to explore more of my research area in linguistics and to upgrade my knowledge and skills as a professional. After completing my PhD, I look forward to returning to Malaysia as a lecturer in the polytechnic where I worked. Mazlin Mohamed Mokhtar from Malaysia is studying towards a PhD in through sponsorship by the Malaysian Ministry of. 15
I like the fact that as a doctoral student in the School of Counselling, Human Services and Social Work I am treated as a colleague and not just a student. For my PhD research I worked with local nongovernment organisations and other community members in a rural community in Kenya to build safe spaces for sex talk between youth and adults and to eventually promote healthy behaviours and better understanding of the topic in future youth. I chose the University of Auckland because my supervisor Associate Professor Christa Fouché has spent years working in the African context and really supported my vision with communityaction research. Here, I have had the opportunity to study independently as well as learn from a group of talented and caring researchers who I am lucky to have as a support network. Their guidance has encouraged me to never think too small and that all my larger than life ideas are worth pursuing. My department and all of the people in it have been so willing to offer advice, show up and give feedback on presentations, share materials and offer emotional support. Laura Ann Chubb from Canada is studying towards a PhD in Social Work. She is a recipient of the Academic Career Exploration Scholarship for 2016, which will help to build her skills as an academic. 16
