Biotechnology is making a significantly important impact on a number of sectors and disciplines.

Since the discovery of recombinant DNA in the early 1970s and the following development of both genetic engineering and hybridoma technologies, biotechnology has supported our daily lives in many ways, ranging from the development of better methods for detecting, preventing and treating diseases to the farming of transgenic plants, removing of wastes and pollution from the environment, as well as genetic testing and other ground-breaking technologies.

In global terms, the biotechnology scenario is developing rapidly. There is a major emphasis on product and process-oriented biotechnological research and development for applications in healthcare (medical), crop production and agriculture, as well as non-food industries for the benefit of society.

As a result, many countries, including Malaysia and other developing countries, are setting up suitable support infrastructures, such as science and biotechnology institutions and parks.

This explosive growth in research and development in biotechnology requires trained personnel.

As the standard of living improves, more people are placing greater emphasis on healthcare.This results in the explosion of healthcare and wellness centres. Invariably, this leads to greater demand for skilled and qualified professionals such as nurses.

Allied health practitioners are health professionals who provide their services in various healthcare settings to complement the work of physicians in the overall care of the patient.

Many health professions require licensure following completion of an accredited programme. It is therefore important that you choose an institution that provides you a solid and accredited qualification while equipping you with the skills and attitude to excel in this socially oriented line of work.

Students will get ample exposure at the various public and private institutions for clinical placement.NURSING• Chinese Maternity Hospital Seremban• Designated Government Hospitals

Agricultural Management is the study and application of economics and management principles in the production, transformation and marketing of high-quality agricultural products that have economic, aesthetic, social and cultural value.


NILAI UNIVERSITY 10

Agricultural Management draws knowledge and skills from a wide range of disciplines including Soil, Crop and Animal Sciences, Accounting, Economics, Management, and Information and Communication Technology.

Nilai University’s Diploma in Agricultural Management is designed to produce specialised human resources capable of managing plantations. The focus is on the development of knowledge, skills and values within an agribusiness environment for the student to run an agribusiness enterprise on a financially and ecologically sustainable basis. Special emphasis is placed on the development of interpersonal skills and empathy, critical for the management of staff and the enhancement of the welfare of the plantation community.

Apart from the core subjects, students are given the opportunity to develop language and communication skills and be involved in co-curricular activities in a multi-cultural and ethnically diverse student population.

”

Agriculture not only gives riches to a nation, but the only riches she can call her own.SamuelJohnson

Thus, it makes sense that FELDA uses its many subsidiaries and associated companies to achieve this goal. FELDA is one of the largest holding companies in Malaysia with a total of 56 companies, of which 47 are fully operational and 9 are dormant. Of these companies, 15 are direct subsidiaries and 18 are indirect subsidiaries with a combined capital of RM1.1 billion. In addition, FELDA has 16 associates worldwide, two joint ventures and five investment companies.

One of the associate companies is Nilai Education Sdn Bhd, in which FELDA has a 30% stakeholding. It is thus logical that FELDA and Nilai University work together to provide programmes that will directly influence the core concerns of its shareholders, which are agriculture-based.

The 2½-year Diploma in Agriculture Management programme is the first joint venture and approved by the Ministry of Higher Education and Malaysian Qualifications Agency. This programme aims to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge of how to successfully manage plantations both at home and abroad or serve in a multi-national company.

As mentioned earlier, FELDA is one of Malaysia’s largest holding companies, which employs close to 19,000 employees.

With the right qualifications and credentials, you can be a part of FELDA’s nation-building process as well as its exciting expansion plan in the global arena.

MESSAGE from

Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) is always looking for new ways to grow and improve the livelihood of settlers and their families. Through investments, long-term projects or, in this case, progressive improvements via higher education, FELDA seeks to create a new class of entrepreneurs who will form the backbone of the nation’s workforce and make positive contributions towards the nation’s economy. It is hoped that these entrepreneurs will also contribute towards FELDA’s original mission of improving the quality of life of those involved in the agricultural sector.
