UUM LECTURERS REPRESENT MALAYSIA IN INDIA
UUM ONLINE: Five lecturers from Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) attended an international training to discuss the development of a new postgraduate curriculum in climate change law and policy at Marwadi University, Rajkot, Gujarat, India.
They were led by Assoc. Prof. Dr Haslinda Mohd. Anuar along with Assoc. Prof. Dr Harlida Abdul Wahab and Assoc. Prof. Dr Ani Munirah Mohamad from the School of Law (SOL), Dr. Wan Norhayati Wan Ahmad from Tunku Putri Intan Safinaz School of Accountancy (TISSA) and Dr. Mohamad Farhan Mohamad Mohsin from the School of Computing (SOC).
These five researchers are also members of the newly established Research Unit at SOL, called the Climate Change Law Research Unit (CLIMATE).
Nine academic institutions from Asia and Europe, including Coventry University (United Kingdom), European Knowledge Spot and PEDMEDE (Athens), Universitat deGirona (Spain), International Islamic University of Malaysia (UIAM), Hanoi Law University and Hue University (Vietnam), Marwadi University and Symbiosis Law University (India) also participated in the project.
According to Assoc. Prof. Dr Haslinda, the goal of this international training was to transfer knowledge on the development of new curricula in Europe and Asia, as well as basic components in the postgraduate curriculum of law and climate change policy.
In addition, both face-to-face and remote learning strategies, were being discussed here in order to improve the delivery of this programme.
“Praise be to Allah, UUM has been given the trust and opportunity by the European Union through this research project to jointly debate the importance of law and policy in regulating climate change and other related issues.
"The expertise and experience of UUM researchers in aspects of law and environmental policy also contribute to the solidity of the master programme that will be introduced later," she said.
In the meantime, according to Assoc. Prof. Dr Ani Munirah, as a result of the research project funded by Erasmus+, a new postgraduate programme will soon be introduced at UUM. This programme will be called the Master of Laws (LL.M) in Climate Change.
According to her, climate change is a phenomenon that is becoming more severe on a global scale and affecting every level of society.
"Therefore, the new programme planned by the research team and about to be introduced at UUM will be very relevant for the formation of the country's climate change legislation and governance," she said.
She described the experience of participating in training in Gujarat, India, as both meaningful and extremely beneficial to the attendees who came from a number of different of countries around the world.
"Here, we learn more about the teaching, learning, and assessment practices of the climate change master programmes at the universities that were involved, the process of offering programmes and accreditation, as well as how to make learning more inclusive to include every layer of students.
"The cooperation between institutional partners was astounding, because each has the same desire to make the new programme a success in their respective institutions.

PENSYARAH UUM WAKILI MALAYSIA DI INDIA
UUM ONLINE: Lima pensyarah Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) menyertai latihan antarabangsa bagi membincangkan pembangunan kurikulum pascasiswazah baharu undang-undang dan polisi perubahan iklim di Marwadi University, Rajkot, Gujarat, India.
Mereka diketuai Prof. Madya Dr. Haslinda Mohd. Anuar bersama Prof. Madya Dr. Harlida Abdul Wahab dan Prof. Madya Dr. Ani Munirah Mohamad dari Pusat Pengajian Undang-undang (SOL), Dr. Wan Norhayati Wan Ahmad dari Pusat Pengajian Tunku Putri Intan Safinaz (TISSA) serta Dr. Mohamad Farhan Mohamad Mohsin dari Pusat Pengajian Pengkomputeran (SOC).
Kelima-lima penyelidik ini juga merupakan ahli Unit Penyelidikan baharu di SOL, iaitu Climate Change Law Research Unit (CLIMATE).
Sembilan institusi dari Asia dan Eropah, iaitu Coventry University (United Kingdom), European Knowledge Spot dan PEDMEDE (Athens), Universitat deGirona (Sepanyol), Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM), Hanoi Law University dan Hue University (Vietnam) serta Marwadi University dan Symbiosis Law University (India).
Haslinda berkata, objektif latihan antarabangsa ini adalah untuk pemindahan ilmu mengenai pembangunan kurikulum baharu di Eropah dan Asia, serta komponen asas dalam kurikulum pascasiswazah undang-undang dan polisi perubahan iklim.
Di samping itu, kaedah pembelajaran bersemuka dan dalam talian turut dibincangkan bagi tujuan memantapkan penyampaian program ini.
“Syukur alhamdulillah UUM diberikan kepercayaan dan peluang oleh European Union melalui projek penyelidikan ini untuk bersama-sama membahaskan kepentingan undang-undang dan polisi dalam mengawal selia perubahan iklim serta isu-isu berkaitan.
“Kepakaran dan pengalaman para penyelidik UUM dalam aspek undang-undang dan polisi persekitaran turut menyumbang kepada kemantapan program sarjana yang akan diperkenalkan kelak,” ujarnya.
Sementara itu, Ani Munirah berkata, hasil daripada projek penyelidikan yang dibiayai oleh Erasmus+ ini bakal memperkenalkan satu program pascasiswazah baharu di UUM iaitu Sarjana Undang-undang (LL.M) Perubahan Iklim.
Jelasnya, perubahan iklim adalah satu fenomena yang makin meruncing di peringkat global dan memberikan impak kepada setiap lapisan masyarakat.
“Oleh itu, program baharu yang dirancang oleh pasukan penyelidik dan bakal diperkenalkan di UUM kelak amat relevan bagi pembentukan perundangan dan tadbir urus perubahan iklim negara,” ujarnya.
Beliau menyifatkan pengalaman menjalani latihan di Gujarat, India cukup bermakna dan amat bermanfaat kepada peserta yang datang dari pelbagai negara.
“Di sini kami lebih mengetahui amalan pengajaran, pembelajaran dan pentaksiran program sarjana perubahan iklim di universiti terlibat, proses penawaran program dan akreditasi, serta bagaimana menjadikan pembelajaran lebih inklusif bagi merangkumi setiap lapisan pelajar.
“Kerjasama antara rakan institusi amat menakjubkan, kerana masing-masing mempunyai hasrat yang sama untuk menjayakan program baharu di institusi masing-masing.
Pertama kali menjejakkan kaki di India beliau berpandangan India sebagai sebuah negara yang penuh warna warni, kaya dengan budaya dan kreatif dalam kepelbagaian makanan.
