SHAH ALAM, Dec 23 — Universiti Selangor (Unisel) and Dar al-Hikmah College (KDH) have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to collaborate in offering the Madani Studies programme, a new postgraduate course set to commence next year.
The agreement was signed by Unisel president cum vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Mohammad Redzuan Othman and KDH president Datuk Muhammad Nur Manuty, witnessed by Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Zulkifli Hasan, during the ceremony at Unisel’s Shah Alam campus today.
In his speech, Zulkifli said the Madani Studies programme will serve as a concept or framework for education, particularly those in the form of leadership, through comprehensive thought processes.
“Today, we are witnessing positive developments where many activists, practitioners and implementers are contributing to good causes, but we are lagging in the aspect of thought leadership.
“Therefore, the launch of this programme is very timely, as we aim to cultivate more thought leaders and develop new knowledge corpora,” he said.
Meanwhile, Redzuan said the Master’s programme will take a minimum of one year to complete, while the doctorate programme will require three years, following the structure set by the Ministry of Higher Education. Both programmes will be conducted online.
The number of students and the detailed syllabus will be determined after a consultation session next month.
