KUALA NERUS, Sept 28 — The realisation of the proposed merger of Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin and Universiti Malaysia Terengganu may spark a new era in the country’s higher education landscape. “We do not know in the future if the merger of UMT and UniSZA will spur the university further. The merger will sometimes make a university complete,” he told Bernama.
In an exclusive interview recently, Hassan Basri said the process of merging universities was not something new as it was taking place at world-leading universities including the Paris-Sorbonne University and Pierre Marie Curie University in France specialising in different fields, namely social science and medicine.
