UUM CONFIDENT OF DEGREE RECOGNITION
ALOR STAR: Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) is confident that the Legal Profession Qualifying Board (LPQB) will soon give due recognition to its law programme and degree.
UUM deputy vice-chancellor (academic and international) Prof Dr Abdul Razak Chik said the board had scrutinised and assessed the programmes.
“A delegation from the board comprising representatives from the Attorney-General’s Chambers, the Bar Council and the Judiciary visited us from Aug 23 to 25 to conduct a professional assessment,” he said.
He was responding to a letter published in The Star on Sept 10 claiming that UUM law graduates were left in a limbo because the degree was not recognised by the qualifying board.
“UUM has taken all the necessary due process to ensure its law programme and degree are recognised by the relevant professional bodies,” said Prof Dr Abdul Razak.
Stressing that the university understood the predicament faced by the graduates and their parents, he called on all parties to be patient as it was only a matter of time before the board gave the law programmes and degree due recognition.
He said the Malaysian Qualifications Agency had awarded the accreditation certificate for the university’s LLB programme on March 27.
