A proud moment for Nottingham University Business School Malaysia.
Congratulations to Amirun Haqqim bin Eldeen Husaini on becoming the first doctoral candidate from NUBS Malaysia to receive the prestigious DAAD Bi-National Doctoral Scholarship - one of Germany’s most competitive academic awards.
Already a recipient of the University of Nottingham Malaysia PhD Scholarship, Haqqim’s work is now recognised at both institutional and international levels. His research, at the intersection of computational social science and political psychology, explores how polarising narratives emerge and spread in digital spaces.
Through this scholarship, he will undertake a funded research stay at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich, working with Professor Stefan Pickl and Professor Max Moll from the COMTESSA research group, while continuing under the supervision of Professor Yvonne Seow Hsin Vonn at NUBS Malaysia.
From Malaysia to Munich, we look forward to seeing where this journey leads.
