PETALING JAYA: Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) will merge all its Klang Valley campuses into its new city campus in Sungai Long by the middle of the year.

Aside from its campus in Kampar, Perak, the university currently has three other campuses in Petaling Jaya, Setapak and Sungai Long.

The new campus would house seven faculties catering to around 9,000 students and 800 staff, said UTAR vice president (Research, Development and Commercialisation) Prof Dr Lee Sze Wei.

“With this consolidation, students of various faculties will be able to network and mingle, making the campus a vibrant one.

“There will be enhanced interactions between staff and students of different disciplines of study and specialisation.

“It will also encourage more cross-disciplinary cooperation and teamwork among staff and students. This will create a more socially balanced campus life,” he said.
