UTM Razak School of Engineering and Advanced Technology (UTM Razak School) was set up in May 2010 in line with the transformation of UTM Kuala Lumpur Campus. Formerly known as the Business and Advanced Technology Centre (BATC), it started out as a Centre of Excellence in 1992 under an initiative conceived from the then prime minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed.Over the years it has developed strong linkages with more than twenty-five industries and organizations, both locally and internationally, engaging in executive programmes, short courses, professional discourses and innovative research. This industry-linked and industry-driven focus will subsequently be injected into its undergraduate and in future they can further into postgraduate programmes.
These programmes are tailor-made for the industry and are run on modular basis, mostly during the weekends. Working executives are thus given a chance to improve their academic qualifications whilst benefiting from their working experience.
UTM Razak School runs the Executive Diploma Programmes with its industrial partners. Razak School is a forerunner in MQA’s accredited executive programmes and has set its own benchmark and standard which is highly regarded by others in the same playing field.
