The Ministry of Higher Education (KPT) has identified 44 course programmes at nine public institutions of higher learning (IPTA) which will be completed in three years.
Its minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said with the course duration shortened from four to three years, the amount of loan or tuition fees that students have to bear could be reduced.
“At the same time, this will give the graduates the opportunity to enter the job market a year earlier,” he said in his speech at the closing of the Jom Masuk U event at Universiti Malaya today.

On the First Student Development Programme (Sulung) initiative which was introduced last year, Mohamed Khaled said a total of 10,000 B40 students would be fully exempted from tuition fees at all 20 public universities.
“This initiative will have a financial implication of about RM30 million involving all public universities,” he said
