Brief History of UNIRAZAK

Universiti Tun Abdul Razak (UNIRAZAK) was established on 18th December 1997 as one of the first private universities in Malaysia. The University was named after Malaysias second Prime Minister, the late YAB Tun Abdul Razak bin Dato Hussein, and officially launched on 21st December 1998 by Tun Abdul Razaks eldest son, YAB Dato Seri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak, current Prime Minister and then Minister of Education. On 1st March 2007, Tun Abdul Razak Education Foundation (Yayasan PINTAR) acquired Universiti Tun Abdul Razak Sdn. Bhd. (owner of Universiti Tun Abdul Razak) from KUB Malaysia Berhad. Since its inception, UNIRAZAK was among the first few private learning institutions in Malaysia to receive the SIRIM certification of ISO 9001:2000. Additionally, the University has been awarded the prestigious Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) status, which is a testament to the Universitys commitment in integrating technology and innovation in its teaching and learning techniques. UNIRAZAK has rapidly established itself as a premier centre for education in its efforts to produce competitive and capable graduates. UNIRAZAK is highly accessible to the community. Its main campus, RAZAK Campus is strategically located in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, between the Golden Triangle and the Central Business District. Its PINTAR campus in Petaling Jaya is just 30 minutes away from the city of Kuala Lumpur and 45 minutes away from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). These strategic locations ensure that our students have easy access to various public transportation systems to and from both our campuses. As of 31st December 2010, UNIRAZAK has more than 10,000 students studying in 62 academic programmes at the diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The University prides itself in developing relevant programmes to meet todays needs. All our academic programmes, which were developed through close consultation with business and industry partners, the public sector and professionals, are approved by the Malaysian Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) and are developed to meet the high standards required by the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA). Presently under the auspices of the Tun Abdul Razak Educational Foundation (Yayasan PINTAR), UNIRAZAK is embarking on the next crucial phase of its growth. Its new vision is to become the leading institution in providing quality education and human capital in niche areas or body of knowledge among emerging economies. UNIRAZAK also intends to enhance its cooperation and collaborative networks through strategic alliances with top-ranking international universities, renowned in their respective fields. In executing these plans, UNIRAZAK hopes to further boost its presence in the global education market, and at the same time, offer its students a higher quality of educational experience. By continuously striving for excellence, the University is well on its way in becoming an important educational institution in this country and the region. By delivering a world-class learning experience, UNIRAZAK aspires to be an institution that produces great thinkers who will become the accomplished leaders of tomorrow. Universiti Tun Abdul Razak.
