Why did you choose to participate in the NUS AMP?
In the age of an accelerating pace of innovation and disruption, embracing the path of lifelong learning is not just important, but imperative for personal and professional growth and this course has fundamentally enhanced my self-awareness and helped me to cultivate the habit of constantly practicing reflection and introspection.
