Malaysian university ties up with Globsyn for MBA programme

The Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST), an institute set up by the Malaysia government in 1997, Tuesday signed an MoU with Globsyn Business School for offering full time post-graduate degree in MBA.

The faculty of the MUST will visit the Globsyn campus during the second year of the 2-year-long course to take classes, MUST president Prof Premkumar Rajagopal told reporters here after singing the MoU.

Certain segments of the teaching will also be delivered on live streaming on Net where a student will log in at the appointed hour from his/her location and participate in live classes.

The process of physically attending certain segments of the lecture and attending live online classes for other segments is called 'blended learning'.

Globsyn Business School trustee Rahul Dasgupta said 60 students will be enrolled in the first batch in the programme which will start classes from July this year.

"The students will be doubly benefited by getting the degree of MUST as well as the diploma of Globsyn on completion of the MBA programme," Dasgupta said.
