The idea for an institution of higher learning for the Malays was first mooted at the 1903 Rulers’

Conference, or Durbar. The Malay intellectual Za’ba, wrote about such a need in the

newsletter Lembaga Melayu in 1917. A movement, and subsequent debates, among Malay

intellectuals, for the setting up a university using the Malay language as the medium of instruction in

the institution of higher learning was formed in 1923 when another Malay thinker Abdul Kadir Adabi,

submitted a memorandum on the matter to the HRH the Sultan of Kelantan. However the effort

came to nothing due to many obstacles and resistance from the colonial authorities.

Nevertheless from 1957 until 1967, a resurgence of nationalism revived the idea, and in 1968 Malay

scholars formed a steering committee to bring the vision of a national university to reality. A slew of

meetings on cultutal and political exchanges eventually secured an agreement from the government

of the day. The efforts to realise a Malay language-based institution in all subjects bore fruit and

resulted in The National University Of Malaysia (UKM), in May 18 1970, which opened it’s doors in

Lembah Pantai Kuala Lumpur. The first batch of 190 undergraduates and 1 post-graduates

registered at 3 faculties; Science, Arts and Islamic Studies.

In 1974, UKM set up a campus in Kebun Kawang, Papar. Later the place was renamed Limauan by

the then Sabah Chief Minister Tun Datu Mustapha Datu Harun. The campus housed the Science

and Natuiral Resources faculty, which was moved to Bukit Padang, Kota Kinabalu in 1980. It later

relocated to Menggatal, Tuaran in 1990 along with the faculty of Developmental Science which

originally was based in the main campus of Bangi. With the formation of of University Malaysia

Sabah in 1994, UKM’s Sabah campus was officially closed in 1996 and the faculties permanently

located back tio the main campus in Bangi, Selangor.

UKM has since seen tremendous growth in being able to provide an increasing number

of places of learning for the people as well undertaking research in various disciplines

and fields of study. It now has 13 faculties, a Graduate School of Business (UKM-GSB),

as well as 16 research institutes of excellence in education.

UKM has also set up UKM Holdings Sdn. Bhd, operating as a commercial entity to

benefit from all the expertise it has while also generating income for the University.

The university’s main campus in Bangi, Selangor Darul Ehsan spans an area of

1,096.29 hectares approximately 35 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur. The campus is

situated in a valley surrounded by hills and greenery, providing a serene and conducive

environment for learning and knowledge exploration. The faculties and institutes housed

in the main campus are the Faculty of Economics and Management, Faculty of

Engineering and Built Environment, Faculty of Islamic Studies, Faculty of Science and

Technology, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Faculty of Law, Faculty ofEducation, Faculty of Information Science and

(HADHARI), Institute of Ethnic Studies (KITA), UKM Medical Molecular Biology (UMBI),

Institute of Climate Change Studies (IKP), Institute of Visual Informatics (IVI) and other

centres of service.

UKM was appointed as one of the four research universities of Malaysia in 2006 based

on it’s excellent record in research for 40 years. That recognition has gained further

ground when the Malaysia Genome Institute (MGI) and the International Institute of

Global Health, United Nations University were set up at the university. Its areas of

research were further consolidated and enhanced with the identification of eight niche

areas; Challenges to Nation Building, Sustainable Territorial Development, Renewable

Energy, Health and Medical Technology, Climate Change, Nanotechnology and

Advanced Materials, Biological Diversity in Biotechnology Development and ICT:

Content Informatics.

UKM is also the recipient of the Prime Minister’s Quality Award 2006, a recognition of its

excellent achievements in the academic and management fields. It has also been

conferred the status of an Autonomous University in January 2012, while it looks ahead

to a Transformation Pelan by 2018 With these strong foundations, UKM aims at not just

sustaining but also enhancing its level of excellence via its 2000-2020 (PS2020)

Strategic Plan in line with its slogan, ‘Inspiring Futures, Nurturing Possibilities’. All these

developments has brought about greater confidence among its staff to continue

upgrading their capabilities while enhancing their talents in a conducive, healthy and

supportive environment as provided by the university.

History of UKM-Graduate School of Business

UKM-Graduate School of Business upholds its tradition of prioritizing quality and

excellence in Business education and research, a legacy it inherited from the Businessfraternity in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia’s national university.

Chronology of Developments Leading to UKM-GSB’s Establishment:

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) formed the Faculty of Economics and

Administration in 1972. At this time, ‘Business Management’ existed as a unit

besides ‘Economics’. Courses for the Bachelor of Business (BBA) programmebegan to be offered.

The Business Management Unit then transformed into a faculty under the dynamic

leadership of its first Dean, Professor Dato’ Dr. Nik Rashid Nik Ismail (May 1979-Sept. 1980, July 1981-May 1982).

The maiden batch of 105 graduates received their degrees in 1978/ 79, becomingMalaysia’s pioneer BBA graduates from a local public university.

Thereafter, this faculty under the name of Faculty of Business Management, made

remarkable progress in successive stages of development, under the able

leaderships of Professor Dr. Hamzah Ismail (June 1982 - May 1984), Professor Dr.

Ismail Rejab (June 1984 - May 1986), Professor Dr. Hamzah Ismail (June 1986 -

June 1987), Professor Dr. Barjoyai Bardai (July 1987 - Sept. 1988), Assoc. Prof.

Datuk Dr. Kamaruddin Shariff (Sept. 1988- August 1993), Professor Dr. Aziz Abdul

Hamid (Sept. 1993 - August 1995), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Muda (Sept. 1995

- June 1998), Professor Dr. Zakaria Ismail (June 1998 - April 1999) and ProfessorDr. Takiah Hj. Iskandar (April 1999 - Feb. 2005).

17

On 1st April 2004, Pusat Pengajian Siswazah Perniagaan (PSP) (The Graduate

School of Business) was created as a School under FEB’s management. PSP at this

time acted as the graduate arm of this bigger faculty, with the appointment of Professor

Datuk Dr. Noor Azlan Ghazali as its Chair from 1st April 2004, succeeded by Professor

Dr. Rahmah Ismail from 15th March 2005. This chair position changed to Professor Dr.

Noor Ghani Md. Nor (when Professor Rahmah was appointed Deputy Dean of the newfaculty), and later to Professor Dr. Fauzias Mat Nor, from 16th April 2007.

On 1st October 2007, Lembaga Pengurusan (the Board of Management of) UKM

approved the establishment of UKM-Graduate School of Business as a separate entity

from the Faculty of Economics and Business, with Professor Dr. Fauzias Mat Nor,

appointed on 1st January 2008, as its first Dean. This new entity conferred with

autonomy status, is officially named UKM-Graduate School of Business (UKM-GSB).

Starting 1st December 2011, Professor Dr. Izani Ibrahim was appointed as a new Dean

until now.

It is entrusted to manage the D.B.A., M.B.A. and M.Acc. programmes, leaving the

Master of Economics and Ph.D. (Economics) programmes to be run under the Faculty

of Economics and Business’s School of Economics. UKM-GSB reports to Tabung

Amanah (Trustee Committee) that reports directly to the Honourable Vice-Chancellor.

First semester intake (July 2008) of new students managed directly by UKM-GSB. The

new Ph.D. (by thesis) programme with specialisations in Accounting, Marketing,

Management (Organizational Behaviour/ Human Resource Management, Strategy,

Operations) and Finance, began to be offered, along with the new improved DBA (withcoursework and dissertation).

Feedback – Alumni & Students

I was an engineer before I studied in UKM’s MBA programme. This MBA had

opened my mind towards the business world where strategies, ideas and

solutions will help flourish a true business. UKM’s MBA programme is

different…truly different.”

After studying the DBA, I feel very confident in writing expressions and

business problem-solving…I am now heading Management Department at

Islamic University of Indonesia at Yogyakarta. I hope that in not more than

three years’ time, I will be promoted Professor. I am very happy and proud

that UKM-GSB has been selected by the Malaysian government to be

Varsiti Kita

Lihat Kampusku yang tenang

Damainya alam ciptaan Tuhan

Paduan ilmu dan keimanan

Amal dan jerih digabungkan

Lautan ilmu kita harumkan

Sumber ilmuan berkembangan

Memimpin manusia semua

Kenal akan adat unggulnya

Membina negara sentiasa

Maju berilmu dan bahagia

Ditengahkan hasrat rakyat kita

Dari mula untuk semua

Bagai tanda perjuangan kita
