The Faculty of Communication & Design (FCD) conducted the Dissertation Writing Proposal Defence, providing students with the opportunity to present and defend their research proposals before an academic panel. The session encouraged scholarly discussion, critical evaluation, and constructive feedback, enabling students to refine their research questions, methodologies, and overall study design. This academic milestone strengthened students research capabilities and prepared them for the successful execution of their dissertations. The proposal defence marked the beginning of a journey where ideas evolve into research, and research creates meaningful impact.
