My top priorities were: Support from supervisors and administrative, academic excellence, international curriculum and reasonable tuition fees. The EPHD program at NEU is young but I have heard nothing but all the wonderful feedbacks\/recommendations from my colleagues and mentors.\n<br><br>\nAnd speaking from my experience as a current student of the program, I have every reasons to believe that the EPHD program has totally lived up to its reputation and satisfied every criteria that I have: supervisors and teachers are internationally recognized, the staffs were incredibly kind and supportive, the curriculum is rigorous, and the tuition is a fraction of other programs in English. I know the road ahead is long but I\u2019m excited and never feel alone in my journey, all thanks to the amazing people of the program.            <\/p>\r\n                    <div

pursue my PhD. I highly appreciate the training courses, seminars, and conferences I received to become an independent researcher and take higher academic career ladders. Starting as a beginner in the academic world, now I can conduct research and write Scopus\/ISI indexed papers on my own.\n<br><br>Another distinct feature of this program is that all professors at Institute for Sustainable Development are willing to support and guide all doctoral students. Other staff are approachable and very helpful also. It is always easy to find them for advice. Every little thing about this fabulous community has made my PhD journey a wonderful experience.            <\/p>\r\n                    <div class=\"rts__single--testimonial--author\">\r\n

In the end, the critical question is: When you look at your diploma, what do you want it to say? From our perspective, we do not view E-PhD as purely an educational program. Instead, we see it as a research development program. It is a platform for us to work, learn, and publish together. There are pains, but also a lot of fun. Research is not only &#8220;learned and claimed,&#8221; but it is also &#8220;lived and felt&#8221; (From Prof. Nguyen Van Thang &#8211; Institute of Sustainable Development, NEU)<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>4.
