Postgraduate Studies Unit
The unit is responsible for the implementation, management and administration of graduate studies. We do this by providing quality academic services and assistance to students throughout their university experience from admission to graduation.
Apart from this, the unit also commits to provide a conducive environment by maintaining communication with relevant divisions and faculties to ensure the postgraduate programmes are well administered, monitored and assessed to achieve the highest quality in graduate education. This unit serves as a central body for coordinating and promoting all postgraduate programmes. Currently there are more than ten programmes offered; five at the Masters level and five at the PhD level. Our Postgraduate programmes have been recognised internationally and the university has admitted postgraduate students from various countries, includng those sponsored by governments and organisations.
The unit encourages innovative learning via research, colloquiums, seminars, workshops and trainings by merging the academic and industry expertise. This is to ensure IUKL graduates can generate excellent academic and research outcomes and contribute in ensuring the sustainability of the environment, society and nation.
CPSR also serves as a central coordinating body for research and development activities undertaken in the University. RMU is responsible for of inculcating a research culture among the academic staff and facilitating the research and development activities by providing assistance to researchers including processing research fund applications and managing research grant utilization. The unit also act as a resource for the researchers to obtain information related to research, regulatory and legal requirements and publications.
The role of the unit is to provide a “one stop” solution in managing and coordinating all matters related to research activities as well as ensuring the approved university policies and procedures are adhered to by researchers.
