GENERALINFORMATION

UNIVERSITI UTARA MALAYSIA

When rumours started to float concerning the establishment of a university andespeciallyafterTunDaimZainuddinannouncedthatauniversitywouldbeestablishedin the state of Kedah, public response was very encouraging indeed. As of July1983,therewereonlyfivepublicuniversit ies inMalaysiaandtheywerecertainlynotenough to cater for the educational needs of the country. For that reason, the thenPrimeMinister,YangAmatBerhormatDato’SeriDr.MahathirMohamad,directedtheMinistryofEducationtosetupataskforcetoconductastudyon“TheSixthUniversityProject”andacomprehensiveworkingpaperwaspreparedon16August1983.Apartfrom helpingmeet the educational needs of the nation, Dr.Mahathir hoped that theestablishment of a university in the Sintok Valley, which had been infamous as theformer lair of communist insurgents, would help transform the “black area” into adynamic centre of growth. He saw the potential for the valley to be developed intoa seat of learning which would, in turn, catalyse the economic growth of the valleyandhelpbuilda futureof excellence for thenation.Thus, inpursuit of an ideal, theestablishmentofUniversit iUtaraMalaysia(UUM)began.

On1October1983,ataskforcefor“TheSixthUniversityProject”headedbyMr.AbdulHamidAyob,theKedahStateEducationDirectoratthatt ime,wasset-uptosuperviseand handle the project with four other officials from the Ministry of Education. TheheadquartersforthisspecialtaskforcewasbasedinKualaLumpurandtheyoperatedinAlorSetaraswellasinKualaLumpur.

Yang Berhormat Dato’ Khali l Yaakub, theDeputyMinister of Education at that t ime,as the Chairman of the Development Committee, was entrusted with the task ofnegotiatingwiththeKedahStategovernmenttoidentifyalocationfortheprovisionalcampusofthenewuniversity.On16October1983,theCabinetapprovedtheprojectand assigned the Kedah State Development Corporation (PKNK) to undertake theconstructionofthecampus.

Finally, on 19 October 1983, the Cabinet gave its official approval for “The SixthUniversityProject” inKedah.On11January1984,HisMajesty,SeriPadukaBagindaYangdi-PertuanAgong,graciouslysignedtheorderfortheestablishmentofUniversit iUtaraMalaysia(1984IncorporationStatutoryOrder)andalsotheorderforUniversit iUtaraMalaysia(1984CampusorCampusOrder).Afewmonthslater,on15February1984,apro-temoffice for thesixthuniversitywasset-upat theKubangPasuUMNOBuildinginJitra.

UUM officially became the sixth university of the country on 16 February 1984 andit was the only university given the mandate to focus on the field of management.Prof.TanSriDato’Dr.AwangHadSalleh, a renownedacademic of high calibre anda l iterary figure,wasgiven thehonourofbeing the firstVice-Chancellorof thesixth

UUMbeganoperationsat theKubangPasuUMNOBuilding inJitra,Kedah. Itwas inthis building that Tan Sri Awang Had Salleh devised his init ial administration plan.Four months later, in June 1984, the UUM office was relocated to the Darul Amancampus,Jitra,towelcomethefirstbatchofstudentsinJuly1984.

The provisionalUUM campuswas built on an area extending 62 acres, in theDarulAman town, situated 18 kilometers to the north of Alor Setar and approximately 5kilometersfromJitra.BythetimethemovetotheDarulAmancampuswasunderway,planning for the construction of the permanentUUMcampus had already begun.Anareaof1,061hectares in theKubangPasuDistrict,about28kilometers to thenorthoftheprovisionalcampus,inanareacalledSintok,wasidentif iedforthepurpose.

When the Sintok valley was gazetted as a “white area”, i.e. free from communistactivit ies,inDecember1988,theconstructionofthepermanentUUMcampus,referredto as the Sintok campus, commenced. The PrimeMinister gave a directive that theconstruction was to be completed in 18 months, which meant that the constructionwastobecompletedbyJuly1990whenthenewacademicsessionwastobegin.Afterexactly18months,Dr.Mahathirhimselfwason-siteattheSintokcampustomonitortheprogressof theconstructionof theRM580mill ion-campus.Duetosomeunavoidablecircumstances such as the problem of getting enough construction workers, UUMwas only able to commence operations in the Sintok campus two months later, on15September 1990,with the registration of new students for the 1990/91 academicsessionandthereturnofseniorstudentsaweekafterthat.

TheSintokcampus,wateredby theSintokRiverandtheBadakRiver, isa former tinminingarea.Itissurroundedbybeautifullushtropicalforestsandundulatinghil ls.Thecampusissituated48kmtothenorthofAlorSetarand10kmtotheeastofChanglun,a small townsituated close to theMalaysia-Thai border, along theMalaysianNorth-SouthHighway.TheSintokcampuswasofficiallyopenedon17February2004bytheRoyalChancellor,His Royal Highness SultanAbdul HalimMu’adzam Shah. Themain buildings of thecampus are theAcademic Colleges, the Sultanah Bahiyah Library, the Chancellery,the Sultan Badlishah Mosque, the Mu’adzam Shah Hall, the Tan Sri Othman Hall,the Sports Complex, the Varsity Mall, the Budi Siswa building, and the ConventionComplex.

As the campus is situated far from the madding crowd, UUM has ensured that itsstudents receive adequate accommodation. At present, UUM has 15 StudentResidential Halls (SRH), which, all together, house 20,000 students. The SRHs areMAS, Tenaga Nasional, Tradewinds, Petronas, EON, MISC, Sime Darby, BSN, TM,Proton,Maybank,YayasanAlbukhary,BankMuamalat,BankRakyat,andSMEBank.


Apartfromthese,UUMalsohascomfortableaccommodationavailableattheUniversityInnand theSRHswhichcanbe rentedduringsemesterbreak. Inaddition, theEDC-UUM, which is located near the main entrance of the campus, offers comfortableaccommodationforvisitors.Mindfulofthewelfareandneedforaccommodationamongitspersonnel, theUniversityhasbuiltabout600housingunitsofvarious types forasizeableportionofitsworkforce.

In January 2008, a restructuring of the university academic systemwas undertakento increase the number of postgraduate students and to hoist the UUM flag in theinternationalacademicarena.Inthisrestructuringexercise,13facultiesweremergedandstreamedintothreemainAcademicColleges,namelyUUMCOB(UUMCollegeofBusiness),UUMCAS (UUMCollegeofArts andSciences), andUUMCOLGIS (UUMCollegeofLaw,GovernmentandInternationalStudies).
