Nevertheless, from 1957 until 1967, a resurgence of nationalism revived the idea, and in 1968, Malay scholars formed a steering committee to bring the vision
of a national university to reality. A slew of meetings on cultural and political exchanges eventually secured an agreement from the government of the day.
The efforts to realise a Malay language-based institution in all subjects bore fruit and resulted in The National University Of Malaysia (UKM), in May 18 1970,
which opened its doors in Lembah Pantai Kuala Lumpur. The first batch of 190 undergraduates and 1 post-graduates registered at 3 faculties; Science, Arts
and Islamic Studies.
In 1974, UKM set up a campus in Kebun Kawang, Papar. Later the place was renamed Limauan by the then Sabah Chief Minister Tun Datu Mustapha Datu
Harun. The campus housed the Science and Natural Resources faculty, which was moved to Bukit Padang, Kota Kinabalu in 1980. It later relocated to
Menggatal, Tuaran in 1990 along with the faculty of Developmental Science which originally was based in the main campus of Bangi. With the formation of
University Malaysia Sabah in 1994, UKM’s Sabah campus was officially closed in 1996 and the faculties permanently located back to the main campus in
Bangi, Selangor.
UKM has since seen tremendous growth in being able to provide an increasing number of places of learning for the people as well undertaking research in
various disciplines and fields of study. It now has 13 faculties, a Graduate School of Business (GSB-UKM), as well as 16 research institutes of excellence in
education.
UKM has also set up UKM Holdings Sdn. Bhd, operating as a commercial entity to benefit from all the expertise it has while also generating income for the
University.

The university’s main campus in Bangi, Selangor Darul Ehsan spans an area of 1,096.29 hectares approximately 35 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur. The
campus is situated in a valley surrounded by hills and greenery, providing a serene and conducive environment for learning and knowledge exploration. The
faculties and institutes housed in the main campus are the Faculty of Economics and Management, Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, Faculty of
Islamic Studies, Faculty of Science and Technology, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Information
Science andTechnology, Graduate School of Business (GSB-UKM), Institute of Malay World and Civilisation (ATMA), Institute of Environment and
Development (LESTARI), Institute of Malaysian and International Studies (IKMAS), Institute of Occidental Studies (IKON), Institute of Space Science
(ANGKASA), Institute of Microengineering and Nanoelectronics (IMEN), Institute of System Biology (INBIOSIS), Institute of Solar Energy Research (SERI),
Fuel Cell Institute (SEL FUEL), Institute of Islam Hadhari (HADHARI), Institute of West Asian Studies (IKRAB), Institute of Ethnic Studies (KITA), Institute of
Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research (SEADPRI), UKM Medical Molecular Biology (UMBI), Institute of Climate Change Studies (IKP), Institute of
Visual Informatics (IVI), Centre of Graduate Management (PPS), Centre of General Studies (PPU), Students Development Centre and other centres of
service.
42 years since its inception, UKM has produced 146,362 graduates. The university has since attracted global attention, as seen in the 2,937 students from 42
nations.
UKM was appointed as one of the four research universities of Malaysia in 2006 based on its excellent record in research for 40 years. That recognition has
gained further ground when the Malaysia Genome Institute (MGI) and the International Institute of Global Health, United Nations University were set up at the
university. Its areas of research were further consolidated and enhanced with the identification of eight niche areas; Challenges to Nation Building,
Sustainable Territorial Development, Renewable Energy, Health and Medical Technology, Climate Change, Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials,
Biological Diversity in Biotechnology Development and ICT: Content Informatics.
UKM is also the recipient of the Prime Minister’s Quality Award 2006, a recognition of its excellent achievements in the academic and management fields. It
has also been conferred the status of an Autonomous University in January 2012, while it looks ahead to a Transformation Plan by 2018 With these strong
foundations, UKM aims at not just sustaining but also enhancing its level of excellence via its 2000-2020 (PS2020) Strategic Plan in line with its slogan,
‘Inspiring Futures, Nurturing Possibilities’. All these developments has brought about greater confidence among its staff to continue upgrading their
capabilities while enhancing their talents in a conducive, healthy and supportive environment as provided by the university.
Graduate School of Business|7
UKM-Graduate School of Business upholds its tradition of prioritizing quality and excellence in Business education and research, a legacy it inherited from the
Business fraternity in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia’s national university.
Chronology of Developments Leading to UKM-GSB’s Establishment:
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) formed the Faculty of Economics and Administration in 1972. At this time, ‘Business Management’ existed as
a unit besides ‘Economics’. Courses for the Bachelor of Business (BBA) programme began to be offered.
The Business Management Unit then transformed into a faculty under the dynamic leadership of its first Dean, Professor Dato’ Dr. Nik Rashid Nik
Ismail (May 1979-Sept. 1980, July 1981-May 1982).
The maiden batch of 105 graduates received their degrees in 1978/ 79, becoming Malaysia’s pioneer BBA graduates from a local public university.
Thereafter, this faculty under the name of Faculty of Business Management, made remarkable progress in successive stages of development, under
the able leaderships of Professor Dr. Hamzah Ismail (June 1982 - May 1984), Professor Dr. Ismail Rejab (June 1984 - May 1986), Professor Dr.
Hamzah Ismail (June 1986 - June 1987), Professor Dr. Barjoyai Bardai (July 1987 - Sept. 1988), Assoc. Prof. Datuk Dr. Kamaruddin Shariff (Sept.
1988- August 1993), Professor Dr. Aziz Abdul Hamid (Sept. 1993 - August 1995), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Muda (Sept. 1995 - June 1998),
Professor Dr. Zakaria Ismail (June 1998 - April 1999) and Professor Dr. Takiah Hj. Iskandar (April 1999 - Feb. 2005).
On 1st April 2004, Pusat Pengajian Siswazah Perniagaan (PSP) (The Graduate School of Business) was created as a School under FEB’s
management. PSP at this time acted as the graduate arm of this bigger faculty, with the appointment of Professor Datuk Dr. Noor Azlan Ghazali as its
Chair from 1st April 2004, succeeded by Professor Dr. Rahmah Ismail from 15th March 2005. This chair position changed to Professor Dr. Noor
Ghani Md. Nor (when Professor Rahmah was appointed Deputy Dean of the new faculty), and later to Professor Dr. Fauzias Mat Nor, from 16th April
2007.
On 1st October 2007, Lembaga Pengurusan (the Board of Management of) UKM approved the establishment of UKM-Graduate School of Business
as a separate entity from the Faculty of Economics and Business, with Professor Dr. Fauzias Mat Nor, appointed on 1st January 2008, as its first
Dean. This new entity conferred with autonomy status, is officially named UKM-Graduate School of Business (UKM-GSB).
It is entrusted to manage the D.B.A., M.B.A., and M.Acc. programmes, leaving the Master of Economics and Ph.D. (Economics) programmes to be
run under the Faculty of Economics and Business’s School of Economics. UKM-GSB reports to Tabung Amanah (Trustee Committee) that reports
directly to the Honourable Vice-Chancellor.
First semester intake (July 2008) of new students managed directly by UKM-GSB. The new Ph.D. (by thesis) programme with specialisations in
Accounting, Marketing, Management (Organizational Behaviour/ Human Resource Management, Strategy, Operations) and Finance, began to be
offered, along with the new improved DBA (with coursework and dissertation).

Research Supervision
Once PhD (thesis) students have passed all required courses and DBA’s have passed their comprehensive exams, they begin to consult a prospective
supervisor on their proposal and a supervisory committee. A Supervisory Committee comprising a Chair and at least two other members will then be formally
appointed by the Dean of UKM-GSB, to guide, advise, monitor and assess the student's work throughout the dissertation/thesis research and writing phase.
The dissertation/ thesis proposal has to be formally presented and examined for approval, before the candidate qualifies to proceed to the dissertation/thesis
research. Before submitting their thesis/ dissertation for examination, candidates are expected to present their research-in-progress, as well as participate
actively in GSB's Doctoral Colloquiums.
Thesis Examination
The Doctoral degree is conferred after the candidate has fully satisfied the requirements of the thesis/dissertation examination committee. This involves
assessment by at least one external examiner (whose appointment is approved by the UKM Senate). Besides the candidate's supervisory committee, an
independent assessor also examines the candidate's research at the dissertation/ thesis proposal stage, as well as at the final dissertation/ thesis submission
stage.
