This is in recognition of the importance of education in social engineering processes. This is what UITM has put in the first place, which is to meet all the needs of science and technology in many fields of engineering, applied sciences, architecture, construction and planning.

 

The university has 12 branches and 19 affiliated colleges, which vary in fields and specializations such as the Department of Music and Arts, and Law.
