Mediu Programmes Accredited By MQA

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 21 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) has stressed that no revocation of accreditation of Al Madinah International University (Mediu) programmes has taken place as claimed by a local newspaper recently.

MQA, in a statement, said the Mediu programmes had undergone a detailed and comprehensive evaluation process involving evaluation by experts in the related fields appointed by MQA before the programmes were given MQA's accreditation.

"Generally, MQA has evaluated the level of quality of 169 Mediu programmes since 2010. As at October, 88 programmes had undergone the accreditation evaluation process and 81 more programmes had been given full accreditation.

"Of the total, 70 Mediu programmes have received MQA accreditation and registered in the Malaysia Qualifications Register," said the statement.

MQA said every application by Higher Education (PPT) Programme Provider evaluated by MQA would undergo a detailed and comprehensive quality assurance and accreditation programme process.

"MQA will not compromise in the aspect of quality evaluation and every programme must comply with the need of quality assurance based on the Malaysian Qualifications Framework," he said.

As such, MQA urged the public to conduct a check of the programmes offered by PPT via the Malaysian Qualification Register portal at www2.mqa.gov.my/mqr or to check via mobile applications at myMQR whether at Android (Google Play), iOS (Apple Store applications) or Windows (Windows application) to avoid any confusion.
