Foreword from Vice Chancellor
Assalammualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh and greetings.
First and foremost, I would like to congratulate and welcome all new students to
UTHM. As the need for formal education progressed within each of you, you have
entrusted us to become one of your milestones. And for this, the honour is mine.
Looking forward past the pandemic of Coronavirus, the endemic era seems
promising - especially towards the nation’s education landscape. Hardship over
the past two years has made us mature and agile, where reliance on the traditional
way of doing things has subsided. Thus, do expect an array of positive changes
and implementation en route to your success.
Inline, due to our responsibility and mandate, continuous improvement is something that we have
implanted in our DNA - since our inception. Critical consideration of your journey towards essential
education lifecycle (i.e. before, during, and after) has been made perpetually. Thus, parallel to our
direction towards a global technopreneur university by 2030, four main pillars have been established -
Edu-Train, Technopreneur, Prihatin, and Governance. All pillars are being convoluted within a holistic
ecosystem, which synergises the staff, the industries, the communities, the environment, and of course,
you – as the focal point.
Nevertheless, given the current state of VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) that we
faced, initiatives within our pillars have been supported by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia
(MoHE). Therefore, edges including Experiential Learning and Competency-Based Education (EXCEL),
High Impact Educational Practices (HIEPs), Future Ready Curriculum (FRC), and Entrepreneurship
Integrated Education (EIE) have been materialised especially in our curriculum. Thus, we strongly
believe that the initiatives, together with our exceptional physical and non-physical facilities, will produce
all-inclusive graduates and later professionals, as promised in our tagline, ‘UTHM Produces
Professional”.
Last but definitely not least, I am openheartedly welcoming all new students to become our people.
Notwithstanding striving to bring pleasant experiences along your journey, I prayed for your success
throughout.
“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those
who prepare for it today” (Malcolm X)
Best wishes.

Foreword from Deputy Vice Chancellor
(Academic and International)
Assalammualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh and greetings.
Primarily, I am profoundly congratulating and welcoming all new students of the
academic session 2022/2023 to Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM).
Hopefully you will achieve success in education as desired, in addition to gaining
experience while at UTHM.
I also would like to thank and congratulate the Centre for Academic Development
and Excellence (CAD) and the faculties for successfully publishing this academic
proforma. It is hoped that the information provided in this academic proforma can
be a reference and help students in planning their learning path throughout their
studies.
As is well known, the spread of COVID-19 which began at the end of 2019 has affected not only the
daily lives of individuals and the national economy, but also educational institutions are also faced with
the issue of sustainability of academic programs. To address these issues, UTHM has acted to adjust
the operation and implementation of academic programs based on the situation. UTHM is also
determined to remain agile and relevant in the academic field in the current endemic transition era. In
addition, with the support of the adoption of new initiatives from the Ministry of Higher Education
Malaysia (MOHE) and also UTHM itself, I am confident that the university's academic excellence will
continue to be preserved and enhanced.
Allow me to share briefly about UTHM’s focus on Technical and Vocational Education and Training
(TVET) based education. UTHM's efforts started from before the registration of students, where UTHM
has considered the need for credit transfer, especially for higher levels of study. UTHM also provides
solutions either for the articulation of academic programs internally at UTHM or externally involving other
institutions. Then during the study period, extensive improvements in terms of program content, physical
and non -physical facilities continued to be carried out. Afterward, UTHM has also provided a centralized
support system to graduates. All these stated efforts are only part of UTHM's sustainable academic
ecosystem towards a Technopreneur University by 2030.
Finally, I hope that all the agendas that have been and will be implemented by UTHM will give you
valuable experience in exploring and acquiring the competencies you dream of. I pray that you will
continue to gain knowledge and forge outstanding success.
“The more that you read, the more things you will know,
the more that you learn, the more places you’ll go” (Dr. Seuss)

The establishment history of Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology (FSKTM),
Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia started in September 2000 with the establishment of the
Department of Information Technology and Multimedia (JTMM), Faculty of Engineering Technology,
Kolej Universiti Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO). In May 2004, JTMM moves ahead with the establishment
of Faculty of Information Technology and Multimedia (FTMM) which was operating at the Parit Raja City
Campus, Batu Pahat, Johor.
On 24 August 2010, FTMM achieved another milestone when the UTHM Board of Directors agreed to
rebrand the faculty to Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology. Through the
rebranding, three departments are established: Department of Software Engineering, Department of
Multimedia, and Department of Information Security and Web Technology.
The faculty offers academic programmes to students at Bachelor and Post Graduate levels. FSKTM is
established with the goal to conduct programmes which have been planned to assist in the
implementations towards realizing the vision and mission as well as to conduct research and innovative
development in accordance to the nation needs.
Apart from conducting competitive academic programme, members of FSKTM hope to create better
success in the future by playing important roles in producing skilled professionals in the various field of
Computer Science and Information Technology while meeting the needs of industries, locally and
internationally. FSKTM organization chart is shown in diagram below.
