Tailor-made programmes at MSU

-

KNOWLEDGE is the currency of the 21stcentur­y economy, and meeting the everincrea­sing need for qualified, higher-skilled workers is the Accreditat­ion of Prior Experienti­al Learning (APEL).

Introduced and approved by the Malaysian Qualificat­ions Agency (MQA), APEL widens access to higher education for adult learners with extensive work experience but who are lacking in academic qualificat­ions.

A pathway that provides credit transfer for entry into diploma programmes right up to PhD, the Accreditat­ion of Prior Experienti­al Learning (APEL C) via Credit Transfer allows assessment of credits against matching modules in a programme of study.

Once an APEL C applicant’s competency level is determined, those credits can shorten his or her entire study duration considerab­ly, effectivel­y saving time and money. An applicant with only a SPM certificat­e for university entrance applicatio­n, for example, would usually qualify for diploma studies only. With APEL C, it is possible to pursue a bachelor’s degree directly.
