Dr Soo Wincci, one of OUM’s most celebrated graduates, has surprised everyone yet again with her decision to pursue another PhD.
Some have called her crazy, but according to Dr Soo, studying, researching and reading journals are food for her brain. “I love learning so much that I am always craving for more. This is the reason I decided to go to Spain for another master’s degree and PhD. “You know what’s funny? The university in Spain took months to accept me for the PhD programme because they thought I was a scammer for having so many credentials,” shares Dr Soo with a laugh.
She is currently pursuing a PhD in Artistic Production at Berklee College of Music in Valencia. She previously obtained a Master in Music and completed a Post-Master’s Degree Fellowship programme from the same institution. In 2016, she obtained a PhD (Business Administration) from OUM.
Last year, Dr Soo made it into the Malaysia Book of Records once again for the most number of academic degrees obtained by a beauty queen and a recording artist. “I want to achieve a lot of things and I believe I can do it all through education. It’s the best way to earn recognition.” She admits that academic research did not interest her in the beginning: “I used to hate it. But I grew fond of it while studying for my PhD at OUM. The full support I received from lecturers and staff throughout the years helped me realise my potential.” She has been in the music industry for so long and the dream of getting a scroll in music pushed her to take a chance in Spain. “I hope I can spread my wings in music production in Spain as the music industry there is huge,” says Dr Soo, who is also learning Spanish.
Apart from making regular trips to Spain, the beauty queen is busy giving talks at universities, recording television shows and producing videos for her YouTube channel. “I love giving talks to university students because I want to encourage them to do their doctorate. In today’s challenging world, even a master’s degree is pretty common nowadays. So if you want to be unique, why not pursue a PhD?” she says.
