Student Profile: Overseas Research Visit
Join us as PhD candidate, Dean Hoi, discusses how he was able to visit Harvard Business School as a visiting fellow with help from the Department of Economics, his supervisors and the Faculty’s research enhancement grant and research travel grants.
I'm incredibly fortunate to have this really amazing supervising team here at University of Melbourne. And they're really the reason that I was able to make this trip. First and foremost, they had international connections.
