A head start with MUFY

SUNWAY College Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) alumnus Alex Lee Kae Lun earned his Bachelor of Honours Degree in Business and Commerce last year and is currently pursuing hisDoctor of Philosophy (PhD)with the School of Business at Monash University, Malaysia.

Here, he shared his experience inMUFY whichinspired him to go into economics and finance, and nurtured his growing interest in research. The 24 year old from Tawau, Sabah shared that he asked a lot of questions after class, so as to not disrupt the class too much.

Given his lack of background knowledge on economics and accounting, Alex shared that Sunway’s well-stocked library also helped him to succeed in his studies. Alex’s interest in research started when he worked as a Research Assistant atMonash University during his undergraduate years.

Alex said his studies in the MUFY,Degree and Honours programme at Monash University had prepped him well for his PhD.

Although it was a tough journey, Alex found it was worth it as he learnt and practiced strict time management, and had early exposure of research life and sufficient training prior his PhD. Alex who is an aviation and technology enthusiast, completed his MUFY programme in December 2010 after which he did his first internship with the Global Market Operations (Treasury) Department in HSBC Bank Malaysia Bhd before continuing his degree in Monash University.
