PhD

Introduction
This programme was first offered in 1997 but an academic review was conducted in 2011 and the reviewed version was presented to the Department of Higher Education, MOHE in the same year. In July 2012, the Department of Higher Education approved the reviewed programme. In March 2015, the Malaysian Qualifications Agency produced a document called Standards for Masters and Doctoral Degrees and it was found that the current programme needs a minor revision to comply with some of the requirements set out in the document.
