Massey University has won a contract to teach members of
Brunei's armed forces a diploma course in defence and
strategic studies.
Massey University's three-year contract with the Brunei
Defence Academy is expected to earn the university several
hundred thousand dollars, a university spokesman said today.
The fact Brunei chose the Massey course reflected well on the
international standing of university's Centre for Defence and
Security Studies which would be offering the course,
Vice-Chancellor Steve Maharey said.
The one year diploma course would be taught through a
combination of distance learning, video conferencing,
e-learning, and campus block courses run by Massey staff at
the academy in Brunei.
A preparatory course for students would be held in Brunei in
November before the programme started next year.
Papers in the diploma include command studies, international
relations theory and practice, joint multinational and
interagency operations and modern campaign studies.
Brunei is located on the island of Borneo in South East Asia
and has a population of 388,190.
