My name is Ravindran and I am from Malaysia. I graduated from the University of Northumbria at Newcastle, UK in 1995 with an LL.B degree.  I am 50 years old and have over 21 years of experience in the education sector.  I accepted the Voluntary Separation Scheme and left Monash University, Malaysia on  November 6, 2020, having served as an Administrative Executive (Course Administration) for five years. I am married to a teacher and have a nine year old daughter.

I am interested in getting a feel of a postgraduate course by simply starting with a 20 credit unit without enrolling into a full Masters programme. I have just started the course and it is interesting. 

I just need to know if HR is a suitable field for me to proceed further in terms of academic and also work experience. This course would be a good start.

A great teacher makes sure his / her students understand what is taught. It is important for a teacher to explain a subject in the simplest language.

I hope to be able to manage people – a manager of a team of staff.

The most courageous thing I did was studying law.  Although I was a weak student in high school, I did my best at university as I was always interested in studying law.

My best childhood memory was living near the beach when I was a little boy.  My father, brother and I would walk to the beach every day.

My perfect vacation would be to visit the UK with my family so that I can show them where I studied over 26 years ago.
 

I would like to be friends with MacGyver, the title character and protagonist in the TV series MacGyver as he manages to solve every problem.  I want to be like him, especially to help people solve problems with any kind of skills and knowledge I have.

There are no shortcuts in life. Everyone needs to work hard to achieve their goal.  You will always have success with hard work and prayers.
