Both foreign and local postgraduate students who come from diverse backgrounds and experiences must work closely with their supervisors for the bond’s growth. The mutual understanding and great faithfulness between them contribute to ensuring success until the end of the research journey. Clear and open communication on all aspects of the research can prevent students’ dissatisfaction with the progress of research work and their relationship with supervisors (Hemer, 2012).
