“Today, we are witnessing positive developments where many activists, practitioners and implementers are contributing to good causes, but we are lagging in the aspect of thought leadership.

“Therefore, the launch of this programme is very timely, as we aim to cultivate more thought leaders and develop new knowledge corpora,” he said.

Meanwhile, Mohammad Redzuan said the Master’s programme will take a minimum of one year to complete, while the doctorate programme will require three years, following the structure set by the Ministry of Higher Education. Both programmes will be conducted online.
