„Graduate research is quite different than simply attending courses and doing assigned work one completes in their bachelor studies. Instead it involves you conducting research in a setting that has many challenges and pitfalls beyond the subject matter that you are studying. ”
Prof. Dr. Kenneth Kent - Barrett Chair in Entrepreneurship for Digital Transformation; Director IBM Centre for Advanced Studies - Atlantic; Faculty of Computer Science, University of New Brunswick
