Putrajaya, 7 February 2025 – City University Malaysia continues to strengthen its role in higher education as its Vice-Chancellor, Professor Dr. Rosnizah Shaari, attended the APEL.Q DBA Program Briefing Session with the representative of YB Dato’ Haji Mohammad Yusof Apdal, Deputy Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI).
The session, held at C5, Federal Government Administrative Centre, Presint 1, Putrajaya, aimed to discuss the implementation of the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning for Qualifications (APEL.Q) program for the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA). This program provides opportunities for individuals with extensive work experience but without formal academic qualifications to gain recognition for their skills and knowledge through a structured assessment process.
As an institution committed to innovation in education, City University Malaysia views APEL.Q as a crucial initiative to empower Malaysia’s professional workforce. The presence of Professor Dr. Rosnizah Shaari at this briefing session highlights the university’s commitment to lifelong learning and its dedication to strengthening collaboration with industries and government agencies.
During the session, various aspects of the APEL.Q DBA implementation were discussed, including program structure, assessment methods, and the long-term impact on Malaysia’s higher education landscape. This initiative is expected to help more professionals obtain academic qualifications relevant to their expertise, ultimately contributing to the country’s human capital development.
With strong support from MOSTI and higher education institutions such as City University Malaysia, the APEL.Q DBA program is set to become a catalyst for educational transformation and professional growth in Malaysia.
