KPTM HISTORY
The History of KPTM
Kolej Poly-Tech MARA (KPTM), formely known as Kolej Yayasan
Pelajaran MARA (KYPM) was established as a private higher educational
institution under the Private Higher Educational Institutions Act 1996 (Act
555) in September 2003. Managed by Kolej Poly-Tech MARA sdn. Bhd., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), KPTM offers a wide range of
educational opportunities in the field of information technology, computer science,
accounting, business management, engineering and health sciences.
It all started in January 1983 with the establishment of the
Learnng Resources Centre in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. In june, 1983 Maktab Sains
MARA (also known as MARA community college) in Kuantan, Pahang was formed. At
that time, it offered a twinning programme known as the American Associate
Degree (AAD). The programme was well accepted by more than 75 universities in
the United States and New Zealand as a 2+2 transfer degree programme. This
remarkable achievement later led to the establishment of KPTM Kuala Lumpur
(1987), KPTM Bangi (1988) and KPTM Kota Bharu (1994). Other international
strategic alliances were formed with the
Nothern Consortium of the United Kingdom (1988), the Australian Consortium of
Higher Education in Malaysia (1994) and the British Consortium of Higher Education in Malaysia (1994) which enabled
students to further their studies in a number of reputable universities in the
UK and Australia. 1993 saw another alliance formed with the Dublin Business
School, Ireland to conduct the ACCA professional accounting programme. A
partnership with Coventry University, United Kingdom (2004) has led to
initiatives in producing world class graduates.
KPTM’s existing strength was built through its excellent
track record and the merging of 2 MARA’s renowned institution i.e Kolej Yayasan
Pelajaran MARA (KYPM) and Akademi Infotech MARA (AIM). KPTM has grown to be
among the biggest Bumiputra private educational institution with more 12,500
full time students spread over 7 campuses in Kuala Lumpur as the main campus
and branches in Bangi, Kuantan, Kota Bharu, Alor Setar, Ipoh, Batu Pahat and
Semporna.
KPTM also established local collaboration with the public
and private universities such as Universities Teknologi MARA (1994), Universiti
Putra Malaysia (1995), Universiti Malaya (1995), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
(1996), Universiti Sains Malaysia (1996), Universiti Multimedia (1998),
Universiti Utara Malaysia and also the Matriculation Centre, Ministry of
Education Malaysia (1999).
Our commitment to life-long learning and flexibility to
education are reflected in the diversity of the programmes offered throughthe
Centre for Continuing Education (CCE). Since its establishment in 1995, CCE has
offered part time and distance learning programmes ranging from certificates,
diplomas, degrees in a multitude of areas, as well as short courses conducted
in collaboration with the local and international universities and partner
