When a student registers in an academic programme at a university, both enter into a partnership intended to culminate with the student earning a masters degree awarded by the institution.

The purpose of this research is to explore factors affecting postgraduate students’ retention when enrolling via accreditation of prior experiential learning (APEL) in Open University Malaysia.
