Assalamu'alaikum and Greetings,
General Studies Department (Jabatan Pengajian Am, JPA), in general, is an academic support department that complements the main academic departments in handling the teaching and learning of the general courses offered in the polytechnic.
JPA, Politeknik Sultan Azlan Shah (PSAS) which is based in Behrang Stesyen, Perak started operating since 2003 with 9 staff members. Presently, there are 29 staff members under 2 units i.e. Unit of Islamic and Moral Education, and the Language Unit.
Unit of Islamic and Moral Education emphasises on forming the personality of the students both inside and outside the polytechnic. The unit is also working to cultivate positive values among students in order to practise them while at work place and in their daily lives.
On the other hand, the Language Unit plays the role to equip students with Communicative English and Mandarin communication skills in preparation for students to improve and be able to speak so as to be able to compete in the global arena and in preparation for securing jobs after graduating from PSAS.
Last but not least, JPA is committed to bringing success. All the best!
