Foreign students in limbo as course accreditation revoked
Around 800 foreign students in Malaysia are in limbo after the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) revoked accreditation for eight courses at the private Limkokwing University of Creative Technology (LUCT), which also operates a number of branch campuses elsewhere in Asia and in Africa.
Foreign students at the private university in Selangor state near Kuala Lumpur said numerous bachelors, MBA and PhD courses at LUCT Malaysia have had accreditation revoked by the MQA after students had already commenced the course.
This appeared to be due to an “inability to maintain certain requirements and standards set by the relevant authorities”, Limkokwing students said at a press conference earlier this month.
