Commonwealth Executive Master of Public Administration (CeMPA) Programme description The CeMPA degree is designed to provide the students with an understanding and knowledge of public systems and management. As a professional programme, emphasis is placed upon acquiring those administrative concepts, processes, and techniques that are associated with managing the public systems at various levels. The programme blends the theoretical and practical dimensions of administration and encourages a broadened academic and professional perspective. Working adults are well aware that career objectives are easier to achieve with advanced education.  However, the demands of work, family, and other obligations leave little time for conventional graduate studies.   WOU has made, by using the Open and Distance learning mode, the CeMPA programme more flexible and accessible to the working adults in Malaysia. The CeMPA degree is an interdisciplinary programme drawing from fields such as policy process and policy analysis, economics, management, political science, finance/accounting, research methods, statistics, ethics and public management in order to equip CeMPA graduates with skills and knowledge covering a broad range of topics and disciplines relevant to the public sector. The objectives of this programme are as follows: To provide enhanced knowledge that includes interpersonal skills, self-reliance, resilience and clarity about public service values and principles. To develop diagnostic tools among public sector professionals by instilling a solid  grasp of the key ideas and techniques of public management.
