The first impression that comes to our mind when people talk about quality education is the kind of education that not only gives students the essential knowledge and skills that match the job market requirements, but also develops students holistically. This means that quality education providers will strive to develop students into all-rounders who not only excel academically, but are also active in co-curricular activities, including organizing large-scale events and activities that involve hundreds of participants, actively participating in academic and/or sports competitions etc, besides upholding professional and moral etiquettes and actively engaging in meaningful community service projects.
UTAR is of no exception. UTAR prides itself on being one of the reputable quality tertiary education providers that offers the most reasonable and affordable tuition fees among the private universities in Malaysia. According to the National Graduate Employability Index presented by TALENTBANK, UTAR is voted Top 3 in Graduate Employability among all of the private universities in Malaysia. This recognition is 100% determined by leading graduate employers in Malaysia. This recognition showcases that UTAR graduates are able to secure jobs very fast (usually within 1 - 6 months) upon graduation, thus indicating that the graduate employers have confidence in the quality of UTAR graduates and are happy to welcome and develop UTAR graduates into full-fledged professionals.
