I read my cousin problem in lawyat forum last night......ok lets me show you all what is the problem :-
Well lately, I've seen a lot of new courses appearing in MMU. My batch,
they introduced Artificial Intelligence course, after my batch Security
Technology. This coming June intake, they will introduce Bio-related IT
course. A new faculty is coming soon too. Well, if a student who took
this new courses, one of the worries are LAN, JPA and MOHE. Sometimes
student thought that this courses that are offered are already LAN
approved not knowing it when they applied for it .Well, MOHE certainly
will approved the course, but what will happen to the first batch of
student that has not been approved by LAN? As I know JPA won't give out
the scholarship for the LAN not approved programmes. And how about
PTPTN? In the initial state,my friend who took Artificial Intelligence,
had a shock when they heard that PTPTN has not approved the loan for his
programmes. Luckily somehow after discusion between administrator and
PTPTN, they allowed it. How about this new courses? Will PTPTN abandoned
them because of not LAN accreditated?
and the best idea from Mr. Chong :
here's what i can share:
in order for a college to get accreditation, they have to start the course first with the first batch of students. part of the accreditation process is that the students' works are reviewed and scrutinized by experts from the related field. for example, new artificial intelligence courses in college ABC will be assessed by malaysian experts in artificial intelligence, probably some people from other established universities or industry. if the course is relatively new in malaysia, LAN will appoint external experts to assess. Usually, in establishing a new course, the college will need qualified lecturers and most importantly, the structure of the course. facilities could come second. this structures are easily adapted using established overseas courses.
in order to obtain certification (not accreditation) from LAN, they will have to prove that their course complies to the minimum international standards. once it has been confirmed, they can start the course.
usually, the first 3-4 batches are will not get an accredited degree, but their degree is certified to comply with minimum standards, which means, still fit to practice, although not necessarily 100% accepted by everyone.
for example, only 4 out of 16 schools of architecture in malaysia are accredited to award full architectural degrees. so what about the other 12 (including LUCT, taylor's, UPM, UIA, UKM, etc)? the graduates are qualified enough to work, but they will need to seek individual accreditation themselves from the respective bodies.
