Established in 2001 as Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia (KUKUM), the aim of the university was to produce a new breed of engineers to respond to technical requisites needed in the Malaysia’s Industrial Master Plan. Programmes Currently, UniMAP offers over a dozen postgraduate programmes and one doctorate programme for students. Electronic-based engineering is UniMAP’s focus; however, related fields of engineering and technology that support the advancement of electronic-based engineering – such as bioprocess engineering, manufacturing engineering, and environmental engineering - are also pursued. UniMAP's rich research background has been a source of pride to them, winning awards at such events as the Malaysian Technology Expo, the British Invention Show, the Seoul International Invention Fair and the International Trade Fair Ideas-Inventions-New Products being only a few.
