Vanessa Chan Ming Miin

“Hi, I’m Vanessa Chan Ming Miin, a PhD candidate in Economics and Finance at Curtin Malaysia. Stepping onto the Curtin Malaysia campus for the first time in 2016 as a foundation student, I had no idea I was beginning a journey that would shape my academic, personal, and professional life.

From earning my Bachelor’s in Accounting and Finance to pursuing an MPhil, Curtin Malaysia has been more than just a place of study – it has been a thriving, diverse community where I’ve built lifelong friendships, exchanged ideas across cultures, and grown both intellectually and personally.

My PhD journey has been equally transformative, with opportunities to present at research conferences, engage with experts, and refine my work through invaluable feedback. Curtin Malaysia’s emphasis on research excellence and collaboration continues to fuel my passion for economics and finance. To anyone considering Curtin Malaysia – this is more than a university; it’s a place of growth, innovation, and lasting connections. Here, you’ll create memories that will stay with you long after you leave.”-Vanessa Chan, PhD candidate in Economics and Finance
