UniKL to set up campus in Pahang

Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob PUTRAJAYA: Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) will build a campus in Pahang that focuses on water management studies, said Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Tengku Mahkota of Pahang Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, who is also UniKL chancellor, mooted the proposal for the Pahang campus and course.

“The project, with a RM26 million starting fund, is just waiting to be implemented. The campus site has already been identified,” Ismail said after attending UNiKL’s 13th convocation at Putrajaya International Convention Centre here yesterday.

UniKL is mulling cooperating with Italy to create more Technical Education and Vocational Training courses to ensure that UniKL remains the primary institution in championing technology engineering.

He said if succeeded, it would make UniKL more renowned globally, after its collaboration with Spain, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

The three-day event will see 6,105 graduates from 12 UniKL campuses nationwide receiving doctorates of philosophy, master’s and bachelor degrees, diplomas and certificates. Bernama
