ABOUT UUM

Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), which was officially established on 16 February 1984, is the sixth Malaysian public university. It is the only university that was set up to specialize solely in management education from the very beginning of its establishment.

The Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) campus is situated in Sintok, 48 km to the north of Alor Setar and 10 km to the east of Changlun, a small town situated along the North-South Highway. The 1,061 hectare campus, which was originally a tin mining area, is surrounded by beautiful scenery, lush tropical forests and undulating hills. In addition, two rivers flow through the campus – the Sintok and Badak rivers.

The main buildings in the campus include the academic buildings, the Sultanah Bahiyah Library, the Administration buildings, the Chancellery, the Sultan Badlishah Mosque, the Mu’adzam Shah Hall, the Tan Sri Othman Hall, the Sports Complex, the University Mall, the Student Residential Halls, the Executive Development Centre, and the University Inn.

In January 2008, UUM witnessed a major and historic restructuring exercise. A total of 13 faculties were streamlined and restructured to become three main colleges, namely the UUM College of Arts and Sciences (UUM CAS), the UUM College of Business (UUM COB), and the UUM College of Law, Government and International Studies (UUM COLGIS). UUM will have the combined synergistic strength of 550 lecturers in Arts and Sciences; 500 lecturers in the field of Business; 120 academics in Law, Government and International Studies.
