Utar students, minta tolong jap.

Wanna ask in regards to the bus shuttle service, if there was an application made for students what do you expect from the application?

not yet graduate already sign offer letter.
final semester exam also havent take that time.

You mean student apply for an additional bus shuttle service?

Which course you study in UTAR?

UTAR graduates are highly acceptable to employers. Their tuition fees are low because the university is not run for profit. There is no need to pay 4-5 times more for a profit oriented foreign name university and get no advantage whatsoever when you graduate.

UTAR awarded self-accreditation status

UTAR added another feather to its cap when it was awarded the self-accreditation status by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) of the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) on 20 March 2017.

According to MQA, the self-accreditation status authorises a higher education provider to do its own self-assessment and accredit its programmes in accordance to the criteria set by the MQA, excluding some programmes that require a professional body’s recognition.

UTAR is one of the eight higher learning institutions which received the self-accreditation status on 20 March 2017. The other seven universities which received the self-accreditation status are Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP), International Medical University (IMU), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM), Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) and Multimedia University (MMU).

The MQA conducted a thorough and rigorous institutional audit prior to the conferment of the status. This self-accreditation status is awarded to higher education providers which have demonstrated a strong and stable internal quality assurance system. According to Minister of Higher Education, YB Dato’ Seri Idris bin Jusoh, the self-accreditation status is awarded to top performing universities in the country, and they have more autonomy in running their own academic programmes.

The self-accreditation system for Malaysian public and private universities was first introduced by MOHE in 2010. It was designed to encourage growth in Malaysia’s higher education landscape. The first batch of recipients of the self-accrediation status included Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Monash University Malaysia, University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, Curtin University Sarawak and Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak.

UTAR-Alibaba Entrepreneur Project

The tradition of giving back to society is very much ingrained in UTAR as the university launched the UTAR–Alibaba Entrepreneur Project. This project was supported by the Department of Soft Skills Competency (DSSC) and Department of Consultancy & Commercialisation (DCC). The main purpose of this project was to promote new village products on e-commerce platforms such as Lazada.com, 11street and Alibaba.com. It also aimed to help expand new village businesses online locally and internationally. This project is student run and developed under the aegis of the UTAR New Village Project.

Beginning in May 2009, the UTAR New Village Project has attracted great participation from students, international collaborators and members of the public who volunteer to explore and study the needs, challenges and opportunities of new villages in Malaysia. The UTAR-Alibaba Entrepreneur Project was founded when the participants of a previous project found that there was a business opportunity to be explored for locally produced products of new villages.

UTAR and Alibaba.com signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on 6 September 2016 to better equip UTAR students and staff as well as Malaysian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with e-commerce knowledge.

Eleven students from the Faculty of Accountancy and Management (FAM) and Lee Kong Chian Faculty of Engineering and Science (LKC FES) participated in this project. FAM Deputy Dean for Academic Development and Undergraduate Programmes Dr Hen Kai Wah, FAM Head of PhD and MPhil programmes Dr Cham Tat Huei, FAM Department of Building and Property Management Head Low Chin Kian, FAM Lecturer Tang Kin Leong, and LKC FES Head of Master of Information Systems programme Dr Wong Whee Yen had volunteered to assist the project as consultants and advisors to the students in helping the new villagers publish their products onto multiple e-commerce platforms.

The published products include Kicap Cap Tangan Bentong, CB Red Label Chicken Biscuit, CB Red Label Honey Sa Qi Ma Cookies, Bai Li Xiang Zhen Siong Chuan Rendang Sauce, Bai Li Xiang Zhen Siong Chuan Sambal Ikan Bilis and Hock Chew So Mee Shua.


Some of the products for sell on the e-commerce platform

DSSC Head Fook Oi Yee said, “There are a lot of SMEs operating in the new villages and they lack e-commerce knowledge. Their products should be introduced outside of their place of origin. Therefore, DSSC collaborated with a few departments and faculties to help the new village SMEs to sell their products through e-commerce platforms.”

Dr Hen said, “While we were running this project, one of the biggest challenges encountered was how to engage and motivate all stakeholders in the project, particularly the merchants and students, on the benefits and value that arise from e-commerce participation. In my opinion, e-commerce business models are constantly evolving. Hence, students should be more creative and innovative in utilising the e-commerce environment.”

Dr Wong remarked, “It was not an easy job when we tried to approach the new village SMEs. Some of them were comfortable with their existing business model and reluctant to try something that they were not good at. We tried to show them how powerful e-commerce is and at the same time, promote their products through the online platform. Even though they may not be able to sell their products online, but at least more people can get to know about their products which increases the opportunity for offline business transactions.”

Defensive driving training for UTARians



Yein highlighting the importance of wearing a seat belt

In view of promoting driving safety to UTARians, Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia Sdn Bhd conducted a defensive driving training through its Volkswagen Polo P Project at UTAR Sungai Long Campus from 25 to 26 March 2017.

UTAR was the first university to join the project. The two-day training was divided into four sessions which saw a total of 140 staff and students participate. Each session consisted of a classroom theory session which entailed briefings on driving positions, driving habits, being distracted while driving, braking avoidance and more.

The highlight of the training was the subsequent practical driving exercises which allowed the participants to experience emergency braking and a slalom course under the professionals’ supervision. Also provided were hands-on training on basic car maintenance such as changing a flat tyre and checking the engine oil.

One of the instructors, Adian Yein cited some statistics and said, “Global traffic deaths are increasing. Since 2007, 88 countries have reduced the number of road deaths, but 87 countries have shown an increase. More alarmingly, it is predicted that global fatality figures will increase from 1.4 million deaths to 1.9 million deaths by 2020.”

He emphasised the importance of educating young drivers to be more responsible on the road. “Traffic injuries are one of the leading causes of death for people aged 15 to 29. Wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of fatality by up to 50% for front-seat passengers and up to 75% for rear-seat passengers. So, make sure that you always wear your seat belt when you are in the car, whether you are the driver, the front-seat passenger or a rear-seat passenger.”

Certificates were given to the participants who joined the project.
