Flexible learning options for the lifelong learner
YOUR quest for knowledge does not have to end upon donning the graduation gown. Lifelong learners embed a burning desire for self-improvement throughout their lives. Though the term may seem especially applicable to the degreed graduate in the workforce with career progression in mind, lifelong learning is necessary across ages, and educational as well as professional backgrounds.
The Human Resources Development Fund’s Strengthening of Lifelong Learning for Skills Enhancement programme aims to ensure a continuous supply of quality local human capital through effective initiatives that build and grow a world-class Malaysian workforce.
Such initiatives include capitalising on studying while working. With the strong governmental support, lifelong learning is taking a step forward.
An important consideration now is to ensure a successful endeavour, because lifelong learning requires studies that are parallel with life and professional commitments.
Management and Science University (MSU) offers breakthrough ways for working adults wishing to further their studies. A wide range of programmes are offered with the students’ convenience, as well as their educational and professional backgrounds in mind.
Lifelong learners from all walks of life may access MSU’S range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and choose from a variety of study modes to fit their situation best – whether to attend classes on the weekdays, weekends or in the evenings, or to opt for virtual learning that runs via video conference supported by online discussions.
Lifelong learning is vital for everybody and not just for the insatiably curious. Make lifelong learning a part of yourself, advance in your professional life, and you could gain immense personal fulfilment by doing so.
