Assalammualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh and

greetings.

I would like to congratulate and welcome all students who will

embark on the next important chapter of your life here at UTHM.
We appreciate your trust for choosing to be with UTHM in
continuing your endeavor for success in your life.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) has continue to deny

new and current students the opportunity to experience higher
education environment one would dream. The innovation of vaccines has given us the
ray of hope that would eventually allow us to do what we do best, i.e. educating the
young and bright Malaysians like you.

I would like to highlight that UTHM has set four main pillars in order become a global
technoprenuer university. They are Edu-Train, Technopreneur, UTHM Prihatin and
Governance. At the heart of these pillars are the students and staffs who will be the
driving force for success. As a new student to this university, it is my hope that you will
participate and contribute to the mission of the university.

Nevertheless, UTHM will continue to strive in providing the best learning experience
available. Academic programmes are continuously reviewed to ensure that the most
recent educational initiatives are implemented. This is in line with the aspirations of the
Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia in transforming learning and teaching process to
be more flexible, organic, dynamic and effective. Additionally, initiatives such as High
Impact Educational Practices (HIEPs), Future Ready Curriculum (FRC),
Entrepreneurship Integrated Education (EIE) will take centre stage and shape the
academic curriculum, which will increase the Graduate Employability (GE). These
initiatives, coupled with dedicated academics and world class facilities will produce
holistic graduates and later professionals, as promised in our tagline, ‘UTHM Produces
Professional”.

On a final note, I would like to again welcome all students to our big family. I believe
that you will become successful university graduates and will continue the university
tradition of academic excellence. I am also confident that you will be able to apply
knowledge and skills gained for the benefit of the society.

Best wishes.

Foreword from Deputy Vice Chancellor
(Academic and International)

Assalammualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh and greetings.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and welcome

all new students of the academic session 2021/2022 to Universiti
Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). Similarly, my congratulations
to the Centre for Academic Development and Training for
successfully publishing this proforma in which can become a
guide for the students to plan their learning journey at the
university.

As everyone is aware, the Covid-19 pandemic has continued to

change Malaysia’s higher education landscape. All universities must adjust to the new
norm which affects the learning and teaching process. Students and lecturers are left
with no other options than to continue with online classes. Thus, UTHM will continue to
ensure quality education through innovative delivery and world class facilities so that no
student will be left behind.

Apart from the above, the higher education in Malaysia has evolved from teacher-
centered to student-centered learning. In addition, much initiatives have been rolled out
towards the development of holistic and balanced graduates in terms of ethic, moral,
knowledge, and skills. In order to improve the quality of learning and teaching, Industry
Revolution 4.0 and work-based learning elements are embedded into the curriculum to
ensure that academic programmes offered by UTHM continue to be relevant to the
needs of current industry and market. Apart from that, knowledge and experience
sharing between the key players of local and foreign industries in relation to industries
and students as well as local community are delivered through CEO@Faculty
programs.

UTHM with much effort and dedication will strive to become the champion of TVET. The
existing academic programmes are aligned towards producing excellent TVET
graduates. New programmes are developed to cater for new areas in TVET, which are
seen to be the dominant workforce in Malaysia. It is hoped that all these efforts will
further accelerate UTHM in becoming a global technopreneur university.

I do hope that all the initiatives which have been and will be rolled out by UTHM will give
you valuable experiences in exploring knowledge and skills at UTHM. I would like to call
out on you to take the opportunity to explore your own potential through various co-
curricular activities and programmes prepared by UTHM. To achieve these aspirations,
early preparations guided by this proforma will help you plan for your journey throughout
your studies at UTHM. I hope you will be able to achieve excellent academic results and
outstanding success.

Finally, I wish you all the best and pray that you will be successful in your studies at the
university and be able to contribute to the development of the religion, race and nation.

 Centre for Diploma Studies

Centre Vision
Excellent in providing multidisciplinary education in science and technology

Centre Mission
Producing graduates who contribute to national development through
a holistic academic program

Diploma programmes had been offered in UTHM since the establishment of Pusat
Latihan Staf Politeknik (PLSP) in 1994. It started with only three programmes which were
managed by the respective departments. All programmes were transferred to the
corresponding faculties when Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO)
was established in 2001.

The establishment of the Centre for Diploma Studies was announced by the Vice
Chancellor on the 1st of August 2009. This enabled all diploma programmes to be
centrally managed under one roof which would increase the competitiveness of the
programmes offered.

It is the aim of the Centre for Diploma Studies to offer diploma programmes at UTHM
which are going to be the main choice of applicants. All diploma programmes at UTHM
are conducted using the Outcome Based Education (OBE) philosophy since 2010/2011
academic session. The implementation of OBE is in line with the wish of the Ministry of
Higher Education in ensuring the highest quality of graduates. Students are expected to
show academic excellence, as well as participating in co-curriculum activities which will
further develop their potential in order to achieve the quality needed to fulfill the global
occupational market. In addition, graduates of these programmes also have the widest
opportunity to further their studies at Bachelor Degree level at various faculties in UTHM.

Now, the Centre for Diploma Studies offers six (6) diploma programmes which are
managed by five (5) departments and is led by a Dean who is assisted by three (3)
Deputy Deans. The organizational chart of the Centre for Diploma Studies is shown in
the next page.
