UiTM Melaka City Campus 101

Congratulations on getting into UiTM, one of the best universities in Malaysia. Well done you. And welcome to UiTM Melaka City Campus. If you’re looking to discover what UiTM Melaka City Campus has to offer, or how student life works here on this campus, then you’re in the right place! This blog is going to take you on a virtual tour of the city campus and we’ll try our best to provide you with all the information you needed.

First, university background.

UiTM is a local university that was first built in Kuala Lumpur that was once known as Rida Training Centre yada yada yada. We’re not going to tell you about the university history from A to Z. We’re just going to highlight the important part. So if you’re really that curious, we suggest you to Google it yourself. But we bet you’re not going to tho because let’s be real, no one likes history.

As you may aware, there are 3 UiTM campuses here in Melaka; Alor Gajah campus, Jasin campus and Bandaraya Melaka campus. Since this blog is dedicated to the new UiTM City Campus students, we’re not going to talk about the other two campuses. 

So anyways, UiTM Melaka City Campus was inaugurated on 26th March 2007 by Melaka then Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Hj Mohd Ali bin Mohd Rustam. UiTM Melaka City Campus located in Jalan Hang Tuah, Melaka began its management operation on 15th December 2006 and the academic activities started on 3rd January 2007.

The campus consists of only one building. Yes people, you read it right, ONE BUILDING ONLY. But fret not, the facilities are complete (ok maybe not but you’ll be fine). Back in 2009 until 2015, the university used to rent 5 levels of the next door building to accommodate their students, since there weren’t enough classes for all the students. As of today, UiTM Melaka City Campus no longer has classes in Melaka Water Company building (the building next door) as some of the faculties (e.g. Faculty of Accountancy, Faculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies and Faculty of Art and Design) were relocated to UiTM Alor Gajah Campus sometime in 2015. And with that, only 2 faculties remain here in the city campus - Faculty of Business Management and Faculty of Hotel and Tourism Management.

Before we take you on a virtual tour of the campus, we’ll tell you a little bit about the programs that UiTM Melaka City Campus offers. There are no diploma programs here, only degree programs so you’ll not find any diploma students roaming around the campus (no diploma students aka no cute juniors). The degree programs that the campus offers are Bachelor in Office System (BOSS), Bachelor in Finance (FINEST), Bachelor in Mass Communication (MASSA), Bachelor in Human Resource (HURES), Bachelor in International Business (IBUC) and Bachelor in Hotel and Tourism Management (HOTOUR). Just so you know, the spirit among students from each program is quite high and competitive and we even have specific levels for each program (e.g., level 8 is for International Business). Therefore sometimes it's actually quite fun to be competing among the programs available here.

Now that we're done telling you a little bit of our campus, it's campus tour time!
