Blue, yellow and red, being the national colours reflect the
Malaysian identity of the institution.

suggesting distinction and excellence in the education
provided by UTAR. Red also signals success, prosperity and
protection from negative forces.

enthusiastic approval and the right choice.

courses and wholesome components of education in UTAR.
These components are known as the Pillars of Education.

INTRODUCTION
“Malaysians have always placed great importance on
education and it was through such drive and encourage-

MESSAGE FROM UTAR PRESIDENT
I am pleased to welcome our new students to UTAR. As a University by the people, for the people, UTAR has
always been a University with a solid foundation, a strong sense of community spirit and a reputation for
academic and research excellence. With a scenic campus in Kampar and a purpose-built campus in Sungai
Long, UTAR has a growing regional presence and an expanding international profile with over 460
international partners, more than 100 external examiners and more than 120 industry advisors for our
academic programmes.
The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed university learning to include online teaching and learning, and I
believe this itself is also educational because additional skills are required to follow online learning and
assessments. More concerted efforts have to be taken for time management while learning from home.
Nevertheless, you will get to experience university life over the next few years and to make new friends. I hope
that the experiences gained will add to your growing perspective of life, enhance your personality, and help
you gain valuable life lessons.
UTAR has been making impressive strides in establishing a strong reputation as a University providing affordable
quality education. The University has consistently attained awards for its efforts towards research, educational
excellence and community projects. UTAR retained its #501-600 ranking for the fourth time since 2018 in the
Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2021. In addition, UTAR maintained its Times Higher
Education (THE) Impact Rankings 2021 with a ranking of #201–300 overall for the second year, and is also
ranked 74th (Top 100) out of the 966 institutions listed in the SDG 4: Quality Education table. UTAR is ranked
#157 in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Asia University Rankings 2021, and ranked #251-300 in the Quacquarelli
Symonds (QS) Graduate Employability Rankings 2020.
With such recognition accorded to the University, I hope that the same spirit of achievement and success will
be shared by all students to adopt a positive attitude in learning and to strive for accomplishments that will
make you better persons. Learning is a pervasive life-long process and working hard to attain your goals is
essential for progress. The passion to explore, discover and acquire new knowledge should be the way to
remain competitive in the cyber age of the 21st century.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the University has been following the Standard Operating Procedures and
the guidelines from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Higher Education with proper physical distancing,
temperature monitoring and the wearing of face masks while on campus. This is the new norm for everyone
on campus and we look forward to your cooperation to ensure that the procedures for health and safety are
followed.
We welcome our new students and we look forward to your commitment and participation in your
programme of study. An exciting journey awaits you. Do your best to make it a memorable and successful
one.
Best wishes,
Ir Prof Dr Ewe Hong Tat

feedback for improvements so that we can forward to the University for consideration.
As a first year university student, you will begin to face new challenges and opportunities. Be resilient
when encountering adversities, and be courageous to seize the occasion. Additionally, a university
life is not just about academic development, you should always attempt to step up and grow out of
your comfort zone, armour yourself, establish new bonds and meet interesting people that will
create memories and legacies on campus.
There is a saying that, “university students are the conscience of society, and the eyes of the times.”
SRC urges all UTARians to pay attention to the current affairs happening around us. We, the SRC
believe that being university students, we should be more perceptive of people, places and issues
around us, and learn to think critically to create a voice for good changes when necessary.
Besides, we firmly believe that a university is also a place to shape future leaders and equip them
with the right knowledge and experience to be even better persons. Therefore, we hope that you
will have the courage and ability to think critically, judge fairly and make informed decisions in all
that you do so that you can become positive citizens of good changes in society and be good role
models for others.

30 ORIENTATION MAY / JUNE 2021DEPARTMENT OF SOFT SKILLS COMPETENCY
The Department of Soft Skills Competency (DSSC) offers short programmes to equip students with the
necessary soft skills and life skills to enhance their competitive edge in the job market and to excel in life. It
also coordinates the University's compulsory unit on co-curricular.
With its vision of providing holistic education, the University looks beyond developing students academically by
providing them with other skills that enhance their contributions to the workplace and society.
Soft skills are essential skills in the workplace. Students with excellent soft skills can fit into most environments
because they are adaptable, committed and persevering, and display the right attitude. Such qualities cut
across all disciplines. In order to perform well and advance in one's career, one needs to have high levels of
soft skills in dealing with people. In short, technical skills need to be complemented with soft skills.
Soft skills take years to develop. Students are therefore encouraged to start developing their soft skills while
pursuing their academic study. DSSC engages experienced trainers and also collaborates with organisation in
public and private sectors to conduct the following key areas of soft skills and life skills programmes for
students:
I. Communication and Language Skills
II. Cognitive Skills
III. Complex Problem Solving
IV. Critical Thinking
V. Emotional Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence and Teamwork Skills
VI. Moral and Professional Ethics
VII. Leadership Skills
VIII. Lifelong Learning & Information Management
IX. Entrepreneurship Skills
X. Digital Literacy
DSSC also organises a wide range of activities such as Speakers' Corner, UTAR New Village Community Project,
and Overseas Study Tours and Student Exchange Programmes.
With effect from January 2009, UTAR has introduced the UTAR SOFT SKILLS DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATE (USSDC),
a certification system to recognise students' achievements and efforts to improve themselves in the above
areas of soft skills and life skills.

32 ORIENTATION MAY / JUNE 2021UTAR COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMME
(UTAR CARE PROGRAMME)
DEPARTMENT OF SOFT SKILLS COMPETENCY
UTAR Community and Voluntary Engagement Programme (UTAR CARE Programme) was introduced in
January 2021 onwards as an effort to cultivate and recognise students’ contribution and efforts in community
and voluntary projects.
The UTAR CARE transcript will record students’ contribution in community / volunteering projects within their
study period in UTAR (from Foundation Studies to Postgraduate Studies), which includes University Social
Responsibility (USR) projects, Knowledge Transfer Program (KTP), Student-initiated Community Project and
Voluntary Services to the university.
The new system is expected to increase the participation of students in Community Outreach Project/
Voluntary Work. With the 5 tiers in the new grading system, the students will have targets and motivation to
earn service hours to reach the highest tier (Tier 5) before their completion of study.
Objectives:
New System
UTAR CARE Programme represents a new system that recognize students’ achievement toward
community engagement.
Developing interpersonal skills
Undergraduates who have a high level of involvement in community service would show positive
changes in behavior, values, aspirations and career preparation. From the social aspect, they also learn
empathy, positive attitude and higher level of internalized moral standards. Volunteering also gives
students the opportunity to practice crucial skills to better prepare them for the future workplace, such as
teamwork, communication, problem solving, project planning, task manage- ment and organization skills.
Real World Learning
Students are given opportunities to experience out-of-the-classroom learning, where they are exposed to
the current issues faced by the communities in the real world.
Expanding Network
Students are also given a platform to expand their network with various parties such as the local
communities, local authorities, NGOs, government agencies and even industry players.
Enhancing Employability
Many companies have a strong social responsibility core and showing one’s charitable side displays a
good cultural fit. Candidates who volunteer stand out in a positive way because their passion and
involvement with community is evident. Volunteering can add depth to a candidate’s experience and
help one to stand out.
Grading system
* In order to obtain a 5‐star rating, students must join at least 1 community activity from each category of
SDGs below:
I. People, Dignity, Justice (SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
II. Planet (SDGs 6, 12, 13, 14, 15)
III. Prosperity (SDGs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
IV. Peace, Partnership (SDGs 16,17)
