UNIMAS
Introduction to International Affairs Division
Established in
December 1992, UNIMAS is the first university to be established
after the launching of vision 2020 and the eighth public university
in Malaysia. Vision 2020, set the framework for Malaysia to be a
fully industrialized nation by the year 2020. To achieve this goal,
we must fully utilize the creative capacities and potential of our
diverse population to generate a more skilled and knowledge-rich
society. This challenge thus define the direction of UNIMAS in
articulating its vision to be an exemplary university of
internationally acknowledged stature and a scholarly institution of
choice for both students and academics through the pursuit of
excellence in teaching, research and scholarship.
Various strategies have been implemented to strengthen UNIMAS¡¯s
position locally and also as a global player. One of the significant
steps taken in this direction is the establishment of the
International Affairs Division (IAD), currently headed by Associate
Professor Dr Kasing Apun. The IAD was established in July 2008,
taking over the role of the International Relation Unit, in order to
coordinate the growing number of international program throughout
the university and serves as a significant link between the
university and the international world.
IAD main role is to serve as a central body to spearhead, oversee,
coordinate and manage UNIMAS international programs, services, and
resources. This is necessary to achieve coherence and integration of
international programs and services at UNIMAS in order to enhance
its reputation as a high quality institution dedicated to academic,
research and other international programs. These services include
arrangement for entry requirement (immigration/visa), accommodation,
advice on healthcare, advice on social and cultural activities and
arrange non-academic programs.
