Dr Rizal stresses that UM does not compromise on academic quality even if it involves elite athletes
UNDER the new national athlete module, high-performing sportsmen can request for special classes at Universiti Malaya (UM) to accommodate their gruelling training schedule.
The module which allows elite student-athletes to plan their time better will improve learning outcomes, UM Centre for Sports and Exercise Sciences deputy director (undergraduate studies) Dr Rizal Mohd Razman, believes.
