• Bachelor’s degree in related fields with a minimum CGPA of 2.75, or its equivalent qualification as accepted by the Senate.

ENGLISH REQUIREMENTS
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS •  IELTS 6.0
 
Please note that under Ministry of Higher Education regulations, only students who have achieved the minimum requirement in the English Language proficiency assessment as indicated above will be allowed to continue their studies in the main study programme. Students who do not have the required English Language achievement may apply for a student visa on conditional basis and are allowed to enrol in an English Language Certification programme at APU upon arrival in Malaysia and, subsequently, appear for the IELTS/TOEFL/PTE/MUET assessment.
 
Students who are unable to obtain the required level of English Competency during the maximum 12 months’ period, will not be allowed to pursue their studies in the main programme and will have to return to their home country.

Students from English speaking countries and those with qualifications taught in English (previous Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree taught in English) are exempted from English requirements. Applications for exemption must be accompanied by supporting documents.

Note: The above entry requirements may differ for specific programmes based on the latest programme standards published by Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).

Conversion to PhD

Students of the Research Degree programme may convert to a PhD candidate if they satisfy all the criteria below:

  • Display excellent progress in their research.
  • Able to demonstrate the potential of their project to be expended to PhD level.
  • Pass a rigorous assessment.

Successful conversion means that the student will no longer be a Research Degree candidate but will instead become a PhD candidate with their candidature start date backdated to their original Research Degree registration date. Hence, it allows the student to gain a PhD award within a shorter timeframe, without the need to complete a Masters programme.


Programme Structure / Process Flow

Application Process

Ideally, student works with potential supervisors to develop proposal.

 

This programme is conducted by research and is assessed via oral presentations and reports at various junctures, including a Proposal Defence, regular half-yearly progress monitoring at research colloquiums, Work Completion Defence, Thesis Examination and Viva Voce. Students would need to take one taught module on Research Methodology to gain the pre-requisite knowledge to effectively carry out their research. Regular discussions with the supervisors would be expected to ensure the direction of research as well as the quality and significance of the findings.
