For the award of a Bachelor's degree, you will have to
complete 23-26 courses depending on your chosen degree
programme for a total of 120 credit hours and achieve a
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 2.0.
However you may be required to enrol for foundation courses
at the start of your degree programme to equip you with
basic competencies as well as offer an opportunity to
refresh your knowledge. In this connection, the total credit
hours of your study may range from 120 to 126.
Each level provides you with the skills, knowledge and
confidence to move on to the next stage, gradually
increasing your knowledge of your chosen courses. Therefore,
we highly recommend that you initially enrol for lower-level
courses to ensure a smooth progression.
You will accumulate the credit hours required by taking
courses from the following components:
-
Lembaga Akreditasi Negara (LAN) courses
Learners furthering their education in any Private
Higher Educational Institution (PHEI) in Malaysia
have to complete these courses as prescribed in the
PHEI Act 1996.
-
University courses
These are the entry-level courses for learners
wishing to study for a degree. If you have no
previous experience of study at any higher education
level or no knowledge of the courses covered in the
degree programme of your choice, these courses will
provide you with the foundation and basic learning
skills.

Basic Major/General Education Courses, Core
Major Courses, Elective/Core Elective Courses
Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies (Hons) consists
of basic major/general education courses and
elective courses. Basic major/general education
courses form the basis for courses at a higher level
and complement the curriculum of the entire
programme of study. The completion of 50 credits of
elective courses from at least any two
clusters/disciplines is part of the requirements of
the programme.
Bachelor of Business (Hons) programmes consist only
of basic major and core major courses. Basic major
courses form the basis for courses at a higher level
and complement the curriculum of the entire programe
of study. Core major courses reflect the
specialisation in an academic discipline.
Bachelor of Technology (Hons) programmes consist of
basic major, core major and core elective courses.
Basic major courses form the basis for higher level
courses that you would be taking later on. Core
major courses reflect the specialisation relevant to
the academic discipline. The core elective courses
are usually selected from a prescribed list.
Some of these courses may have other courses as
advisory prerequisite(s). The latter courses are
courses that you are advised to take first in order
to gain some required prior knowledge before
pursuing a particular course.

Programme duration
You are advised to spend at least five (5) years of study to
be eligible for a degree award. There is no maximum period
to complete your programme of study. However, for programmes
that require recognition from professional bodies, prior
agreement on the maximum duration of studies must be sought
from the appropriate professional bodies. You may enrol for
a maximum of 15 credit hours or 4 courses whichever is lower
in any 18-week semester. Please note that for each credit
hour, your study workload required per week would be an
average of 2 hours. Therefore, if you were to register for a
5-credit hour course weekly, you would need to allocate an
average of 10 hours per week for study.
