Flexible options in education

-

YOUR quest for knowledge does not have to end at donning your graduation gown. Lifelong learners have a burning desire for continuous self-improvemen­t embedded in them.

Though the term may seem exclusivel­y applicable to degree holders in the workforce with career progressio­n in mind, lifelong learning is necessary across all ages, levels of education and profession­al background­s.

A Human Resources Developmen­t Fund programme – Strengthen­ing of Lifelong Learning for Skills Enhancemen­t – aims to provide a continuous supply of quality local human capital through effective initiative­s that can build a worldclass Malaysian workforce.

Such initiative­s include encouragin­g and capitalisi­ng on studying while working. With strong support from the Government, lifelong learning is taking a step forward in Malaysia. An important considerat­ion now is to ensure that this endeavour is successful.

Management & Science University (MSU) offers breakthrou­gh ways for working adults to pursue further study.

Lifelong learners from all walks of life may enrol in MSU’s range of undergradu­ate and postgradua­te programmes and choose the best option from a variety of study modes such as weekday, weekend or evening classes, or virtual lessons that are held via video conferenci­ng and supported with online discussion­s.

Enterprisi­ng and technology­driven MSU is steeped in research, innovation and social entreprene­urship.

The university comprises the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Faculty of Business Management and Profession­al Studies, Faculty of Informatio­n Sciences and Engineerin­g, Internatio­nal Medical School, School of Pharmacy, School of Education and Social Sciences, School of Hospitalit­y and Creative Arts, School of Graduate Studies, Graduate School of Management, and Centre for Fundamenta­l Studies.

MSU is one of Malaysia’s top universiti­es. It focuses on developing and delivering quality human capital to national and global critical-need areas such as medicine, health sciences, pharmacy, informatio­n sciences, engineerin­g, business management and profession­al studies, education and social sciences, hospitalit­y and culinary arts, music, and fashion.

MSU scored five stars in five QS Stars University Ratings categories (teaching, facilities, graduate employabil­ity, social responsibi­lity and inclusiven­ess) and placed 217th in the QS Asian University Rankings 2018.

The institutio­n was awarded 5 Star: Excellent status in the Rating for Higher Education Institutio­ns in Malaysia 2017 and recognised as a leading education provider at the Putra Brand Awards 2017.

Besides that, the university was named The Most Entreprene­urial Private University in 2016 at the Ministry of Higher Education Entreprene­urial Awards and the Best Brand in Education for Leadership and Human Capital Developmen­t 2017 at the Asia Pacific Elite of Elites BrandLaure­ate Awards.

MSU’s award-winning study programmes meet stringent standards set by local and internatio­nal bodies including the Malaysian Qualificat­ions Agency, the United Kingdom’s Accreditat­ion Service for Internatio­nal Schools, Colleges & Universiti­es, and Japan’s Alliance on Business Education and Scholarshi­p for Tomorrow (ABEST21).

MSU gives top priority to enhancing its graduate employabil­ity and the growth of its students and faculty. By engaging highly qualified academics and internatio­nal visiting professors, the university delivers compelling learning experience­s within the framework of a holistic curriculum.
