Through the PhD journey, I also had opportunities to participate in another faculty&#8217;s research. I enjoy the rigour in finding evidence and to scan the relevant literature. In addition, I got opportunities to share parts of my research at the Australian Childhood Foundation Conference 2022. It also helped me connect with others who are also doing research in this area.&#8221;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/swk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2024\/07\/yoges2-300x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"yoges2-300x300\" height=\"300\" width=\"300\" title=\"yoges2-300x300\" \/>\n\t<p><strong>YOGESWARI D\/O MUNISAMY<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/swk\/phd-social-work-research-about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n<h1>\n\t\tThe Unique NUS Experience\n\t<\/h1>\n\t<strong>We develop:<\/strong><br \/>\nCritical thinkers\n\t<strong>We hone:<\/strong><br \/>\nEvidence-based<br \/>\npractice\n\t<strong>We nurture:<\/strong><br \/>\nSkilled and<br \/>\nreflexive practitioners\n\t<strong>We groom:<\/strong><br \/>\nSocial service leaders\n<h2>\n\t\tFurther your career in NUS Social Work today!\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Contact us at <a href=\"mailto:swkbox1@nus.edu.sg\">swkbox1@nus.edu.sg<\/a> for enquiries on our programmes.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PhD (Social Work by Research) The NUS Doctor of Philosophy (Social Work by Research) is a research intensive advanced programme for qualified social workers committed to research in social work practice or human services, under the supervision of an academic staff.\u00a0 Why the NUS PhD (Social Work by Research)?
