This section also provides you with all the information about the courses and universities you are interested in. you will find information like the governing bodies and regulatory agencies of higher education in universities in Malaysia. LAN (Lembaga Akredasi Negara) or the National Accreditation Board was the previous agency that standardises all the courses that are offered in Malaysia, ensuring that all the courses offered and taught in the institutions are of a consistent and acceptable standard. LAN would examine all the factors that puts value into the course like the teaching staff, facilities, services, student welfare and such. If you notice that a course is LAN accredited, that means that the course had obtained a passing standard that is acceptable. LAN has since been replaced by the MQA (Malaysian Quality Assurance) board which oversees the entire accreditation process.
