Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (abbreviated as UTAR; simplified Chinese: 拉曼大学; traditional Chinese: 拉曼大學) is a not-for-profit private research university in Malaysia. UTAR ranked among top 100 in the Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2018[8] and top 600 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021,[9] placing it 2nd overall in Malaysia only after University of Malaya.[10] UTAR also ranked 31st in UI GreenMetric Ranking Top 50 Under 50 2022,[11] and 3rd in Malaysia for Nature Index Institution Research Output.[12]
UTAR was established in June 2002 through the UTAR Education Foundation, a non-for-profit organisation.[13] A total of 411 students were enrolled in June 2002 for its first intake.
The university has two campuses, the award-winning[14] Kampar campus in the state of Perak while the other one is in Sungai Long located within the Klang Valley in the state of Selangor.[15]
History
In July 2001, the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), a monoethnic political party, received an invitation from the Malaysian Ministry of Education to establish a university.[16] Ling Liong Sik, the President of the MCA, chaired a committee that drew up a framework for the establishment of the university.[16] Another committee was formed to compile the necessary documents to receive approval from the local authorities.[16] The second committee was led by Ng Lay Swee, the Principal of Tunku Abdul Rahman University College, a tertiary education institution also established by the MCA, and it included Lai Fatt Sian, the Head of the School of Business Studies of the University College, who became the founding Dean of the UTAR Faculty of Accountancy and Management.[16] The university also established the Faculty of Arts and Social Science, led by Yeoh Suan Pow, and the Faculty of Information Communication and Technology, led by Tan Chik Heok. Ling Liong Sik was appointed Council Chairman of UTAR and Ng Lay Swee became the first President and CEO.[17]
In June 2002, UTAR opened its doors to the pioneer batch students on its first campus located in Section 13 of Petaling Jaya, on premises previously owned by the publisher of a local daily called The Star.[18]
Through the three newly established faculties, the university offered its first eight honours degree programmes[16] At that time, the Faculty of Accountancy and Management, under founding Dean Lai Fatt Sian, hosted more than 6,000 students.
An official ceremony was held to launch UTAR on 13 August 2002 at the main hall of the Tunku Abdul Rahman University College. Attending the ceremony was the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad. The prime minister also officiated the university groundbreaking event at its new campus at Kampar, in the state of Perak.[16][19]
UTAR once maintained campuses in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur, but in June 2015 these were consolidated with the Sungai Long campus.[20][21]
Ng Lay Swee retired as the President on 31 March 2008. She was succeeded by Chuah Hean Teik.[22] Following her retirement, many pioneering staff members who worked with her from the inception of the university left the establishment as well.
Chuah Hean Teik retired as the President on 31 August 2019. He was succeeded by Ewe Hong Tat effective from 1 September 2019.[23][24]
