Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM)

University of Putra Malaysia (Malay: Universiti Putra Malaysia), abbreviated as UPM, is a Malaysian public research university located in Serdang, Selangor. Formerly, it was named Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (Agricultural University of Malaysia), focusing on agricultural sciences and related fields. Since the 1990s, the fields of study have expanded to include human ecology, languages, architecture, medicine, computer science, and biotechnology. Currently, there are 15 faculties, 11 institutes, and 2 schools covering these as well as agriculture, forestry, veterinary medicine, economics, engineering, sciences, and education.

Establishment of Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM)

Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) was first established on 21st May 1931 by John Scott, an administrative officer of the Straits Settlements. Then named the School of Agriculture, only two kinds of programs were offered: a three-year diploma programme and a one-year certificate course. The School was then renamed the College of Agriculture Malaya by Sir Edward Gent, the Governor of the Malayan Union, on 23rd June 1947. A year later, it was proposed that the college be upgraded to a university, but the declaration of an Emergency later that year put the plan on hold. Nevertheless, the role of the college began to become more significant, in line with the rapid growth of the country’s agricultural sector, leading to the then Prime Minister, Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, envisioning the establishment of an agricultural university when officiating extensions to the college structure in 1969.

This vision eventually came to fruition when Universiti Pertanian Malaysia was founded in 1973. This borderless campus was reflected in the name change from Universiti Pertanian Malaysia to Universiti Putra Malaysia in 1997, by the then Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. Today, UPM is on its way to becoming a university of international repute, boasting the highest percentage of academic staff with PhD qualifications among local universities in Malaysia, and students from over 70 countries around the world.
