Postgraduate Programmes Rules and Regulations;

1. Admission

Applicants to the Master of Quality Management program must hold a university graduate degree from an accredited university or college. A total Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 2.4/4.0 or good or equivalent of undergraduate study is required.

Applicants having excellent work experience and holding a Bachelor degree with a grade of less than good may be admitted on a conditional basis. In this case, the applicant must achieve a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 at least after studying 6 courses (18 credit hours) in order to continue for the MQM.

The Productivity and Quality Institute identifies the set of applicants who can be adequately served by the program and select from this set the applicants to be recommended for admission where each applicant is reviewed as an individual. The Productivity and Quality Institute places particular value on each applicant.

A student has up to 5 years from the date of admission to complete requirements for the degree. All new admissions will be valid for three semesters. If a student does not enroll by the third semester, they must reapply for admission.

Members of the staff and employees of the Academy who wish to register, as graduates should consult the appropriate staff handbooks concerning admission and fee information.
