The Master of Public Administration and Leadership programme is a combination of courses conducted by the Faculty of Economics and Management (FEM) and other faculties/centres in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) managed by the Centre for Shaping Advanced & Professional Education (UKMSHAPE). The programme aims to strengthen management knowledge for those involved in the administration and management of organisations, either in the public or private sector. The block system is used to show the differences of various levels of competence in the programme structure. The programme is based on six (6) blocks of courses that must be taken by students. Students are required to take all courses in blocks 1, 2 and 3, and elective courses in block 4. In block 5, students can choose cross-disciplinary courses according to students’ career development needs. Block 6 is a compulsory master’s research project for all students.
