Welcome to Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA)
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA), and thank you for visiting our official website. I am delighted to share key highlights and insights into our university — a vibrant, forward-thinking institution committed to academic excellence, impactful research, and meaningful industry collaboration.
UMPSA aspires to be a leading provider of engineering and technology-based education, research, and innovation. As we advance, our long-term vision is shaped by three transformative aspirations:
- To become a recognised Eco-University by 2030, championing sustainability and environmental stewardship;
- To position UMPSA as the ASEAN Advanced TVET Hub by 2030, driving excellence in technical and vocational education and training across the region; and
- To establish ourselves as a distinguished technical university by 2050, known globally for world-class programmes and innovation-driven impact.
These visionary goals are guided by the SPIROS philosophy — a holistic and balanced approach that empowers every member of the UMPSA community to elevate the quality of their work and skills through a values-driven work culture focused on Skills, Perfection, Impact, Resilience, Optimisation, and Sustainability.
By embracing this culture, we are confident that UMPSA will continue to excel and remain at the forefront of progress — creating meaningful impact for society and the global community, in true spirit of our guiding slogan, “Technology for Society.”
As one of Malaysia’s focused universities, UMPSA stands out for its specialisation in engineering, technology, and industrial sciences. Our academic programmes are designed to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in an increasingly complex and fast-evolving world. At UMPSA, we adopt a student-centred, problem-based learning approach that cultivates graduates who are industry-ready, globally competitive, and ethically grounded.
While UMPSA is a focused university, the Faculty of Industrial Management complements our technical strengths with essential business and management acumen. Its programmes equip our graduates with the strategic skills to excel in senior roles and lead effectively in complex, multidisciplinary environments.
We take pride in our advanced facilities, which bridge the gap between academic theory and industrial practice. Our students benefit from hands-on learning guided by experienced and passionate academics in environments that reflect the realities of today’s industries.
UMPSA operates across two campuses:
- Pekan — our main campus, home to the Faculty of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering Technology, Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology, Faculty of Manufacturing and Mechatronic Engineering Technology, Faculty of Computing, and the Centre for Modern Languages.
- Gambang — strategically located within Malaysia’s petrochemical and biotechnology corridor, housing the Faculty of Civil Engineering Technology, Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering Technology, Faculty of Industrial Sciences and Technology, Faculty of Industrial Management, Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Centre for Human Sciences, and several Centres of Excellence.
For scholars, researchers, and partners exploring opportunities for engagement, UMPSA offers a welcoming environment for collaborative research, academic exchanges, and consultancy. We are proud to host visiting academics through a range of flexible programmes designed to accommodate diverse academic and professional interests.
I warmly invite you to explore our website to discover more about UMPSA’s initiatives, achievements, and community. Should you require further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our team — we are always happy to connect and support your journey with us.
