Universiti Tun Abdul Razak was established on 18th December 1997, as one of
the first private universities in Malaysia. Named after Malaysia's second Prime
Minister, the late YAB. Tun Abdul Razak, the university welcomed its first batch
of 162 students in September 1998. On 21st December 1998, the university was
officially launched by Tun Abdul Razak's eldest son, the then Minister of
Education YB. Dato' Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak.
Since then, Universiti Tun Abdul Razak has become one of the first private
learning institutions in Malaysia to receive the SIRIM certification of ISO
9001:2000. Additionally, the university had been awarded the prestigious MSC-
status certification, which is a testament to the university's commitment in
integrating technology and innovation in its teaching and learning techniques.
While Universiti Tun Abdul Razak aspires to render services of the highest
quality, it is also highly accessible to the community. Its PINTAR campus in
Kelana Jaya, for example, is just 30 minutes away from the city of Kuala Lumpur
and 45 minutes away from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Its
strategic location ensures that our students have easy access to various public
transportation systems to and from campus.
Presently under the auspices of the Tun Abdul Razak Educational Foundation
(Yayasan PINTAR), Universiti Tun Abdul Razak is embarking on the next crucial
phase of its growth. Its new vision is to become the leading institution in
providing quality education and human capital in niche areas or body knowledge
among emerging economies. Universiti Tun Abdul Razak also intends to
enhance its cooperation and collaborative networks through strategic alliances
with top-ranking international universities, renowned in their respective fields.
In executing these plans, Universiti Tun Abdul Razak hopes to further boost its
presence in the global education market, and at the same time, offer its students
a higher quality of educational experience. By continuously striving for
excellence, the university is well on its way in becoming an important educational
institution in this country and the region. By delivering a world-class learning
experience, Universiti Tun Abdul Razak aspires to be an institution that produces
great thinkers who will become the accomplished leaders of tomorrow.
