About UMS (Universiti Malaysia Sabah)

Description:
Universiti Malaysia Sabah (English: Sabah University of Malaysia) or UMS is the ninth Malaysian public university located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia and was established on November 24, 1994. His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong proclaimed the establishment of UMS under Section 6(1) of the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971. History:
UMS' first campus was sited at the site of Kolej Komuniti Yayasan Sabah (KKYS) on the grounds of Yayasan Sabah (Sabah Foundation) itself. The first intake consisted of 205 undergraduates, with its residences located just beside the football field, on the compound of Yayasan Sabah. It only shifted to Kota Kinabalu in 1995 by renting buildings to cater to its needs. In August the same year, physical development began to take place on a 999-acre (4 km²) land, located to the north of Kota Kinabalu City. The first phase of its construction was only completed in 2000. UMS opened a branch campus in the Island of Labuan in 1999, known as Kampus Antarabangsa Labuan (Labuan International Campus). Head of State, His Excellency Tun Datuk Seri Panglima
(Dr.) Haji Juhar Bin Datuk Haji Mahiruddin is currently the Chancellor of UMS. Vision:
Universiti Malaysia Sabah strives to be an innovative university of global standing. Motto:
"Strive to Excel"
Excellence in aspirations and pursuits will be the driving force and the main goal of Universiti Malaysia Sabah whereas gaining recognition at the international level will be the pinnacle of its achievement. Philosophy:
An education that is based upon the principle of believing in God and in the development of students who are progressive, disciplined, integrated and balanced in their intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual outlook, and who will contribute towards the well being of the society and the nation.

UMS, Sabah Maju Jaya Secretariat Explore Education and Research Cooperation with Australia

A delegation from Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) and the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) Secretariat discussed opportunities to strengthen Sabah’s education and research links with Australia during a visit to the Consulate-General of Malaysia in Perth on 21 September.

The UMS delegation was led by Vice-Chancellor Prof. Datuk Dr. Kasim Hj. Mansor, accompanied by Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) Prof. Ir. Dr. Rosalam Hj. Sarbatly. The SMJ Secretariat was represented by its Chief Coordinating Officer, Datuk (Datu) Rosmadi Datu Sulai. They met with Malaysia’s Consul-General in Perth, Nur Eliza Jemal Zainal.

The discussion explored potential collaboration between UMS and Murdoch University, including dual-degree programmes and student mobility opportunities that would allow students to complete part of their studies overseas.

The delegation also discussed developing expertise in fields relevant to Sabah’s future needs, including mining, renewable energy, the blue economy, oil and gas, geology, engineering, marine studies, tropical health and infectious diseases.

Other areas considered included Australian approaches to ocean accounting and sustainable resource management, alongside research cooperation involving UMS, the SMJ Secretariat and relevant Sabah agencies.

The visit identified opportunities to strengthen Sabah’s position as an international education and research destination. The delegation emphasised the need for future partnerships to build local expertise, meet long-term workforce needs and support the Sabah Maju Jaya development agenda.

🇲🇾🇷🇺 UMS MERENTASI SEMPADAN: MENELUSURI SEJARAH, MEMELIHARA WARISAN DI RUSIA

Dua pelajar pascasiswazah Fakulti Sains Sosial dan Kemanusiaan (FSSK), Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Nurfarain binti Abdul Rahman dan Abdul Aziz Kong bin Abdul Alim, telah menyertai New Generation Programme 2026: “Guardians of Memory” di Yekaterinburg, Rusia.

Program antarabangsa ini menghimpunkan peserta daripada pelbagai negara dalam siri pengisian akademik, wacana intelektual, pertukaran budaya serta lawatan ke arkib, muzium, institusi kebudayaan dan tapak bersejarah sekitar wilayah Sverdlovsk.

Antara pengisian utama ialah Round Table “Politics of Memory: Current Practices and Development Prospects”, lawatan ke State Archive of the Sverdlovsk Region, Museum of History and Archaeology of the Urals, Multimedia Historical Park “Russia – My History”, institusi warisan dan perusahaan porselin di Sysert, serta penyertaan dalam International Youth Festival.

Penyertaan ini bukan sekadar membawa nama UMS ke pentas antarabangsa, malah membuka ruang kepada mahasiswa untuk memahami bagaimana sejarah, memori kolektif dan warisan budaya dipelihara, ditafsir serta diwariskan kepada generasi akan datang.

Lebih bermakna, interaksi bersama peserta antarabangsa turut memperkukuh jaringan akademik dan silang budaya, di samping memperluas perspektif mengenai kepentingan arkib, muzium, komuniti dan institusi pendidikan dalam memastikan khazanah sejarah terus hidup dan relevan.

Dari Sabah ke Yekaterinburg, perjalanan ini membuktikan bahawa ilmu tidak mengenal sempadan dan setiap generasi mempunyai tanggungjawab untuk memahami masa lalu, menghargai warisan serta membawa pengetahuan itu ke masa hadapan. 🇲🇾🤝🇷🇺

Tahniah kepada kedua-dua pelajar FSSK UMS atas penyertaan dan representasi UMS di peringkat antarabangsa.
