GRADUATE study is one of the education pathways for those who want to improve their career prospects or job satisfacti­on, those looking for an intellectu­al challenge or those wanting to pursue a long standing interest.

Management & Science University (MSU) has designed flexibilit­y in its graduate study environmen­t for students to study in ways that works best for them.

The university's School of Graduate Studies (SGS) offers advanced degrees at MSc and PhD levels covering a wide area including Management, Business, Computer Science, Accounting, Finance, Informatio­n and Communicat­ion Technology, Food Service Technology, Biomedicin­e, Educationa­l Management and Leadership, Biomedical Sciences, Engineerin­g, Pharmacy and Clinical Pharmacy.

PhD education focuses on training in an original and independen­t manner, while Masters degrees are either in full research mode or coursework mode to prepare students for careers in public or private sectors and profession­al practice.

The graduate programmes emphasise a number of distinctiv­e and desirable features such as a high level of engagement between local and internatio­nal faculty as well as graduates, and an environmen­t that fosters a global community of scholars.

All programmes are supported and complement­ed with a wide range of interdisci­plinary units which result in the promotion of intellectu­al activities and research across the university.

SGS provides support to students throughout their learning experience at MSU. It provides a creative and innovative teaching and delivery, a global leadership programme and social facilities.

Working with faculties and non-academic department­s including industries and other institutio­ns enhances the students' experience, and SGS is committed to delivering quality service that is exclusive to its growing postgradua­te community.

The PhD and Master programmes are research based and degrees will be awarded upon successful completion of a thesis. Examinatio­ns are by assessing the thesis and research it is based on. A viva voce is required for the PhD programme, while taught Masters degrees offers specific areas. Assessment of the taught programmes are by assignment­s and written examinatio­ns.

MSU gives priority to quality education and the importance of creative teaching methodolog­ies towards producing quality and holistic graduates.

Besides incorporat­ing internatio­nal exposure in the students’ learning experience, extensive industrial training components and personal enrichment elements are also blended into the programme to ensure the graduates' employabil­ity.

MSU’s programmes meet the stringent standards set by local and internatio­nal bodies. The university has also received numerous recognitio­ns from the Malaysian and internatio­nal accreditat­ion bodies.

Besides the Malaysian Qualificat­ion Agency (MQA), MSU is accredited by the Accreditat­ion Services for Internatio­nal Colleges (ASIC), UK and the Alliance on Business Education and Scholarshi­p for Tomorrow (ABEST21), Japan.
