![]() DIVINE Word University (DWU) lecturer Dr Irene Semos applied for the Australia Awards Scholarship to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy to research and contribute to curriculum delivery. “I felt like I was not challenged intellectually in the way I was delivering my teaching and facilitating learning for the students,” she said. The DWU lecturer has a masters degree in international public health and recently obtained a PhD in public health from the University of Queensland through the Australia Awards PNG. “Each of my parents has a PhD and they are my greatest inspiration,” she said.
Dr Semos was encouraged by her parents to “pursue dreams, based on passion and areas of interest.” Her motivation to obtain a PhD came from a desire not to be stagnant in her thinking and intellect. Dr Semos thinks that as an academic, it was important to keep abreast of the latest research forming the evidence around the delivery of teaching and learning for DWU’s health programmes. “I was blessed and privileged to have been part of such an enriching experience where I have grown in knowledge, skills and confidence to continue my work as a lecturer and researcher at Divine Word University,” she said. After her PhD studies, Dr Semos initiated conversations on curriculum design and delivery for health workers in the faculty of public health at DWU. While studying in Australia, she participated in the Women’s Leadership Initiative.
