Villa College has launched four new academic programmes aimed at expanding higher education options for Maldivians.
The programmes are a Bachelor of Teaching in Business and Travel and Tourism, a Master's of Engineering Management, a Master's of Science in Health Psychology, and a Master's of Science in Forensic Psychology.
Vice Rector Associate Professor Dr Ali Najeeb said the launches form part of the college's efforts to prepare professionals for developing fields in the Maldives. The teaching degree is designed to equip graduates to teach Business Studies and Travel and Tourism at secondary and higher secondary levels, combining subject content with pedagogy. The engineering management master's covers risk management, Industry 4.0 technology, energy management, and strategic leadership. The psychology programmes focus on supporting patients with chronic illness and applying psychological principles in health and forensic settings.
Applications and delivery modes for the new programmes have been announced by the college. The additions build on previous expansions of the institution's offerings in law, education, and other disciplines.
