Our History

The College started off by offering bachelor degree twinning programmes, namely American Associate Degree (AAD). The programme was recognized by more than 75 universities in the United States and New Zealand. The remarkable achievements of AAD then generated another international strategic collaborations with the Northern Consortium of United Kingdom (1988), Australian Consortium of Higher Education in Malaysia (1992) and British Consortium for Higher Education in Malaysia (1994). These success stories led to the College's first professional programme in collaboration with the Accountancy and Business College, Dublin (now known as Dublin Business School) in 1993.

The commencement of these twinning programmes led to the opening of the College's new campuses i.e. Kolej Yayasan Pelajaran MARA Bang! (1988), Kolej Yayasan Pelajaran MARA Kuala Lumpur (1992), and Kolej Yayasan Pelajaran MARA Kota Bharu (1994).

Besides international collaborations, the College has also established local affiliation programmes with first-rate public and private universities such as Universiti Teknologi MARA (1994), Universiti Putra Malaysia (1995), Universiti Malaya (1995), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (1996), Universiti Sains Malaysia (1996), Universiti Multimedia (1998), Universiti Utaro Malaysia (1999) and Pusat Matrikulasi Kementerian Pendidikan (1999).  

In its pursuit for excellence, KPTM acknowledges the importance of developing its own programmes or homegrown programmes. The College therefore took the lead in initiating its homegrown programmes in computer science, information technology, accounting, business management and health sciences at degree, diploma and certificate levels.

Our enduring commitment to life-long learning and broadening access to education is reflected in the diversity of provision offered through the Centre of Continuing Education (CCEd). Since its establishment in 1995, CCEd offers a wide range of degrees, diplomas, certificates and professional programmes through its part- time and short courses. Its areas of learning include education, languages, accounting, business administration, secretarial, health sciences, computer sciences, computing and mathematics as well as tuition programmes for secondary students. All these programmes are conducted through collaboration with other recognized international and local universities together with the College's in-house expertise.
