What is COLLABORATIVE postgraduate program (CPP) ?
| |
Existing professionals working in the area NGI can leverage their work subject matter and knowledge and convert it into potential MSc or PhD work. |
| |
The postgraduate program can be a full time course where the topic to be researched on directly addresses the issues of the candidates work area. |
| |
In this manner, we will be able to produce postgraduates that are well-prepared for volatile and high requirements of the industry. |
Additional Information
| |
The CPP is also a full time, but remote program. CPP (Collaborative Postgrad Program) is done together with industry or the university where the candidate is working full time.The aim is to use what the candidate is currently doing in Industry/Academic Research as part of the main contribution towards the Research Thesis. |
| |
If the appointed supervisor cannot link the candidates work with a research contribution that the supervisor feels is adequate, then the candidate cannot be accepted into this program. |
| |
Residency requirement for this program varies with the requirements of the Supervisor. It can be as short as 2 weeks per annum. However, continuous communications via video conferencing and emails should be maintained. |
| |
Admission under the CPP program is RM 18,000 per annum (about USD 5,000). The Master's candidate is expected to finish within a year while the Phd candidate is expected to finish his work within 2-3 years, as the thesis is to be part of what the candidate is already doing. |
| If you prefer to be resident full time in USM, then this program is not for you. | |
