Key Personnel

Prof. Dr Roslan Zainal Abidin Vice Chancellor , Nilai University Welcome to Nilai University. Spreading across 105 acres of natural landscape, Nilai University is located within a conducive, yet easily accessed suburb of Nilai, Negeri Sembilan. Nilai University is a full-fledged university that offers an array of facilities for students to experience a balanced and wholesome learning environment which bridges the gap between their mental and physical development. Fulfilling Nilai University’s motto -Enrichment for life, we are committed to educate and groom our students based on the four pillars of our blueprint; 1) specialised and advanced courses, 2) character development, 3) holistic development and, 4) industry internships through our partnerships and linkages with established corporations. These efforts will further equip and prepare students for local and overseas opportunities. Also, Nilai University’s campus comprises a healthy mix of foreign and domestic students, with over 35 languages spoken. This diverse community plays a vital role for students to cultivate respect and acceptance towards diversity, which isn’t predominant in a homogenous environment. Finally, as the Vice Chancellor of Nilai University, I envision Nilai University to be a research-led university known for its excellence in teaching, innovative research and invention; ultimately achieving Academic Networking and Internationalisation.
