The Faculty of Resource Science and Technology [FRST) and Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) UNIMAS are jointly implementing a capacity building academic programme for the promotion of sustainable land use and natural resource management in Malaysia (SLUSE-M). The programme is modelled after a similar programme initiated by a Danish consortium of universities. SLUSE-M takes its point of departure from natural and social scientific theories and methodologies in order to develop interdisciplinary approaches to the understanding of the problems and solutions related to sustainable use of land and water resources.
This capacity building initiative is realised through the improvement and integration of education, training and research involving students and academic staff of UNIMAS, in collaboration with other local and foreign universities and agencies.
A. Iructur
SLUSE-M Masters Programme (SMMP) study programme consists of three major components, namely:
a) Joint SLUSE Module (14 credits)
b) Joint Experiential Module (8 credits) , and c) UNIMAS Core Modules (30 credits)

.Hydr(Component (a) is generic in nature; the subject addressed include a regional introduction to the environmental setting and status of natural resource management in this region, followed by courses most relevant to sustainable land use and natural resource management that are of common interest to students from the different core disciplines.
Component (b) deals with research concepts and field methodologies.
This module is strengthened by an experiential study component in the form of a two-week field course. The field course for the SLUSE-M students is normally scheduled to coincide with the field course of the SLUSE-M Denmark students. Such joint field activity would provide opportunities for cross-cultural exposure, intellectual discourse and international networking amongst the students of various backgrounds and disciplines.
Component (c) of SMMP represents the core faculty courses that would stream the students into the three possible majors, namely:
i) Development Studies
ii) Land Use and Water Resource Management iii) Coastal Zone Management
8. J lot Heseare
Taking cognizance of the plurality of issues pertaining to sustainable land use and natural resource management in Malaysia, the joint research activities areas has been broadly categorized into four major themes that can: (a) be selected as a Masters dissertation project, which is a compulsory component of the 30-credit UNIMAS Core Module, or (b) be pursued in a broader and more in-depth extent to merit a doctoral thesis. The four themes are:
Watershed studies
