About the Programme

The Master in Business Administration programme is designed with the objective to provide access to higher learning opportunity to both local and overseas students. It provides students with relevant, interesting and stimulating experience via a variety of innovative teaching and learning techniques. The scope of studies includes current developments, issues and debates on business and management topics at both theoretical and applied level. Students will be encouraged to reflect on these topics and their ‘fitness’ in practice, in particular their relevance or application to small or medium-sized industries or enterprises locally in Malaysia and regionally in Asian countries. The programme also promotes life long learning attitude among the students that may help create employment opportunities, future career development and further study.

Learning Process and Assessment

The MBA programme provides students with relevant, interesting and stimulating experience via a variety of innovative teaching and learning techniques. The dynamic learning process involves various methods. Methodology and pedagogy vary but include: lectures, case method, team-base approach, active learning, group research assignments, report writing, guest speakers, presentations and seminars. Further, the small class size creates a collaborative, highly interpersonal environment for graduate business and management education.

We consider assessment as an integral part of the learning process and as such assess students continuously throughout the programme. Assessment may take the form of group work, individual assignments or formal examinations. Also, a project or case study is a requirement in order to complete the programme.
