
Concern over potential shortages of doctorates to
academia, Malaysia’s action plan to produce 60,000
doctorates within the next 15 years has led to the
coining of the programme name MyBrain15.

Malaysian government, through MOHE, PSD, MARA and
MOSTI, has supported Malaysians with funds and financial
aid for postgraduate studies

The need for many more doctoral degree holders in
Malaysia is evident that Malaysia is now moving towards
knowledge-driven economy.
