My journey pursuing my MSc in HRD at UNIMAS while managing the roles of a working woman, mother of three, and wife was both challenging and fulfilling. Fueled by a passion for growth, I balanced my responsibilities with meticulous planning and unwavering determination, actively engaging with coursework and research. My story underscores the resilience of women balancing academic pursuits with familial responsibilities, showcasing that excellence in both realms is achievable with dedication and support.

I was part of the SLUSE-M second Cohort in 2001 and found that this programme is very enriching both in theory and hands-on experience. The interdisciplinary approach and the central theme of the programme – SUSTAINABILITY is really pragmatic and suit the day-to-day working environment; especially to those who aspire to be an effective executive. In addition, the joint-fieldwork with colleagues from other countries exposes a person not only to the multi-disciplinary, but also cross-cultural experience or perspective to issues of common concern, which is useful in making major decisions

Personally, I am a better executive after undergoing the programme – able to see the need for balance between social, economic and the environment.

Through the CMBA programme, I have gained a deeper understanding of various business function courses, including finance, marketing, operations, and human resource development. The coursework provided a solid foundation of theoretical concepts, which were further enhanced through case studies, group discussions, and real-world simulations. This holistic approach allowed me to develop a well-rounded perspective on business challenges and opportunities. I am grateful for the CMBA programme and the immense value it has added to my personal and professional growth. I highly recommend this programme to individuals seeking to enhance their business acumen and embark on a journey of continuous learning in the corporate world.
