FOREWORD BY DEPUTY VICE-CHANCELLOR (ACADEMIC &
INTERNATIONAL)
Assalammualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh and Greetings,
Thanks to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala with His grace and benevolence, this “Accreditation Manual for Programme
Owners” has been successfully published to assist and guide all Faculties/Academies/Institutes/Centres in
managing accreditation for all academic programmes in Universiti Malaya (UM). It is hoped that the publication of
this accreditation manual can be utilized by Faculties/Academies/Institutes/Centres to plan and implement the
accreditation of their respective academic programmes.
UM has been entrusted to carry out self-accreditation for all academic programmes (except for professional
programmes). Therefore, the publication of this accreditation manual is of utmost importance in upholding UM
as a university with self-accreditation status. The publication of this accreditation manual further enhances our
commitment to ensuring all academic programs offered by UM are of high quality in meeting the requirements
and standards set by the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia (MOHE), Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA), and
other relevant program standards.
This manual outline vital information and details for the Programme Owner in the preparation of the Programme
Self-Assessment Report (PSAR) for the accreditation of the academic program at UM. It also serves to facilitate the
Programme Owner in achieving the required standard for the accreditation of the programmes by understanding
various standards in the Code of Practice for Programme Accreditation (COPPA) and Code of Practice for Programme
Accreditation: Open and Distance Learning (COPPA: ODL).
I would like to congratulate the Quality Management and Enhancement Centre (QMEC), the members of the
taskforce for this accreditation manual, and all parties who contributed their ideas and expertise to its publication.
Thank you, Wasalam.
Prof. Dr. Yatimah Alias
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic & International)
