Assalamualaikum and greetings to all,

Welcome to a quick overview of the Faculty of Business and Management (FBM), UiTM.

You are more than welcome to explore FBM’s website and social media accounts for more details and keep abreast with the happenings of FBM.

FBM started its business in 1956 by conducting courses in commerce and offering an 18 day preparatory program for the London Chamber of Commerce to benefit the bumiputeras. Since then, it has bloomed into being Malaysia’s largest business faculty, enrolling more than 40,000 students now across the country. It offers various highly-recognized business qualifications from Pre-Diploma, Diploma, Bachelor, Master and Doctorate, as well as extensive continuing professional development programs and summer programs.

From a local player, FBM has risen to the international prominence, achieving well-known global recognition through prestigious awards, academic rankings, and various accreditations. Among the prestigious awards received by FBM are: i) The Golden Globe Tiger 2018 (Education Leadership) Award for Best Educational Institution in Retail, ii) The Golden Globe Tiger 2018 (Education Leadership) Award for Best Educational Institution in Banking and Insurance, iii) Best Islamic Finance Qualification 2018 and 2019 for BBA (Hons) Islamic Banking at Global Islamic Finance Award, and iv) ASEAN Risk Awards 2018, Winner in the category Risk Educator Award.

FBM is currently ranked in QS Subject: Accounting & Finance , Business & Management Studies and Economics & Econometrics. It is also awarded with international accreditations from Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), Chartered Institute of Logistic and Transport (CILT), Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), Chartered Management Institute (CMI), and Asia Pacific Institute for Events Management (APEIM). In addition, FBM also notched on local accreditation from Malaysia’s Finance Accreditation Agency (FAA) for its BBA (Hons) Business Economics, BBA (Hons) Finance, BBA (Hons) Islamic Banking and BBA (Hons) Insurance programs. Those prestigious awards, academic rankings, accreditations and collaboration accentuate the quality of FBM’s programs and the competency of its faculty members.

On top of that, FBM’s strong belief on the inextricably linked between education and high-quality community work practices has resulted in the active involvement of the faculty members and students in volunteer activities both locally and internationally. FBM aims to offer credit transfers, double/joint/concurrent/twinning/dual programs with top international university and business schools, international exchange, research and alumni. With its excellent academic and non-academic programs, it is hope that the faculty could provide the route for students to achieve professional qualifications with commendable traits, ethics and entrepreneurial attitudes.

As the Dean of this Faculty, I believe that more remarkable accomplishments are anticipated with the high level of esprit de corps among faculty’s members and support from the industry, alumni, government bodies, publics and students.

Join us and together we continue to build FBM as a globally marketable business faculty.
