Welcome Message

By Chairman

At ALFA University College, we are firmly committed to delivering quality higher education that complies with the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) Code of Practice for Programme Accreditation (COPPA) and supports the national higher education agenda set by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE). Our mission is to provide a holistic, outcome-based education that prepares graduates to contribute meaningfully to society, industry, and national development.

In accordance with the Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF) and COPPA requirements, ALFA University College offers a structured range of academic pathways encompassing Diploma, Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s, and Doctoral (PhD) programmes. All programmes are developed, implemented, monitored, and reviewed through robust internal quality assurance mechanisms to ensure alignment with clearly defined Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs), Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs), and Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs).

Our academic programmes emphasise the balanced integration of knowledge, practical and research skills, critical thinking, communication, ethical values, digital competencies, and lifelong learning, in line with COPPA learning outcome domains. Teaching, learning, and assessment strategies are systematically aligned to ensure the achievement of intended learning outcomes, supported by qualified academic staff, appropriate facilities, and adequate learning resources.

The Diploma and Bachelor’s Degree programmes provide clear progression pathways and are designed to integrate theory with practice through industry-informed curriculum design, experiential learning, and real-world application. This ensures graduates are well prepared for employment and professional development. At the postgraduate level, our Master’s programmes offer both coursework and research pathways, while our Doctoral (PhD) programmes, in compliance with MQF Level 8, focus on advanced research, original contribution to knowledge, and the development of independent scholars and researchers.

In support of internationalisation and academic mobility, ALFA University College has established Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with 12 international universities, facilitating opportunities for academic collaboration, student mobility, joint research, and progression at Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral levels, subject to regulatory approval and academic standing.

Recognising the importance of skills-based education within Malaysia’s human capital development agenda, ALFA University College also offers Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes, including the Malaysian Skills Certificate (Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia – SKM). These programmes complement our academic offerings by providing industry-aligned competencies that enhance employability and workforce readiness.

To support postgraduate and doctoral education, ALFA University College ensures the availability of qualified supervisors, structured research governance, ethical review mechanisms, research facilities, and academic support systems, in line with COPPA standards. Continuous monitoring of student progress, supervisor development, and research quality forms an integral part of our academic governance framework.

Underpinned by a strong culture of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), ALFA University College systematically reviews its programmes, teaching and learning processes, assessment methods, and student support services. Feedback from students, alumni, industry partners, external examiners, and advisory panels is utilised to enhance programme quality and institutional effectiveness.

With this comprehensive, quality-assured academic framework, ALFA University College remains committed to accessible, relevant, and sustainable higher education. We strive to produce graduates and researchers who demonstrate intellectual excellence, ethical responsibility, leadership capability, and a commitment to lifelong learning and knowledge creation.

I look forward to welcoming you to ALFA University College, where academic integrity, quality assurance, and continuous improvement underpin our pursuit of excellence.
