Hazwan recently started his PhD at Loughborough University in January 2016. Having completed his Masters degree at Loughborough University, he has enjoyed the summer research module that led him to pursuing a PhD in Economics at the School of Business and Economics. Hazwan has lived in Loughborough for five years, both undergraduate and masters, which has also led him to pursue his PhD at Loughborough University alongside the high ranking of REF (Research Excellence Framework) that the University achieved.

Despite being a new experience for Hazwan to do research, he believes his previous academic record will shine through and achieve the high value research that Loughborough University demands.
