Flexible learning
options for the
lifelong learner
YOUR quest for knowledge does not have
to end upon donning the graduation gown.
Lifelong learners embed a burning desire
for self-improvement throughout their
lives. Though the term may seem
especially applicable to the degreed
graduate in the workforce with career
progression in mind, lifelong learning is
necessary across ages, and educational as
well as professional backgrounds.
The Human Resources Development
Fund’s Strengthening of Lifelong Learning
for Skills Enhancement programme aims to
ensure a continuous supply of quality local
human capital through effective initiatives
that build and grow a world-class
Malaysian workforce.
Such initiatives include capitalising on
studying while working. With the strong
governmental support, lifelong learning is
taking a step forward.
An important consideration now is
to ensure a successful endeavour,
because lifelong learning requires
studies that are parallel with life and
professional commitments.
Management and Science University
(MSU) offers breakthrough ways for
working adults wishing to further their
studies. A wide range of programmes are
offered with the students’ convenience, as
well as their educational and professional
backgrounds in mind.
Lifelong learners from all walks of life
may access MSU’s range of undergraduate
and postgraduate programmes, and choose
from a variety of study modes to fit their
situation best – whether to attend classes
on the weekdays, weekends or in the
evenings, or to opt for virtual learning that
runs via video conference supported by
online discussions.
Lifelong learning is vital for everybody
and not just for the insatiably curious. Make
lifelong learning a part of yourself, advance
in your professional life, and you could gain
immense personal fulfilment by doing so.
