It promotes the programmes by providing counselling on course-content, fees, entry requirements and financial aids. It provides the operational support by providing advice on admission and classes.
Also, it maintains communication with relevant bodies and institutions. All these are done to ensure that the postgraduate programmes are well administered, monitored and assessed to provide the best possible postgraduate experience.
Currently UTAR has 2 campuses. In line with the University's rapid growth and expansion plans, we have immediate vacancies for highly motivated, committed & suitably qualified and experienced individuals to join our growing team of academics and administrative staff to be based in various campuses.

The UTAR Library was established simultaneously with the establishment of Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman in June 2002. It was originally housed in the PA Block, the former Star Building, Petaling Jaya. In 2003, the first branch library, the Faculty of Accountancy and Management (FAM) Library was setup in the PC Block, Petaling Jaya Campus.
UTAR’s main campus in Kampar was built on a 1300-acre piece of land donated by the Perak State Government. It is located in the growing township of Bandar Barat Kampar in Perak. Strategically located off the North-South highway, Kampar Campus is 190 km from Kuala Lumpur which is slightly over two hours away from the city by car. The Campus welcomed its first intake of students in May 2007.
Flanked by picturesque mountains, dotted with scenic lakes and located within a growing township, Kampar Campus offers a conducive and serene learning environment. This Campus features modern educational facilities and provides students with access to some of the latest learning technologies and research innovations. In addition, the Campus has facilities for sports such as football, basketball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis and a gymnasium. The spacious campus grounds are also ideal for jogging and cycling.
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.

The study environment during my university life is great since the students and lecturer is friendly and...
I have thoroughly enjoyed studying at my university and had great lecturers and friends supporting me. I struggled quite a bit because of the language barrier but I have learned to appreciate and adapt to a new culture and I think that was the best part of studying in a foreign country.
UTAR provides an affordable, high-education as well as an enriching university experience. They provide exceptional educational opportunities ranging from their lecturers to the facilities they provide for students.
