Highlights
Why UNITEN?
Wholly owned by the national power utility
Tenaga Nasional Berhad, the largest electricity utility in Southeast Asia, owns UNITEN outright. That is not an administrative detail: it is why the university specialises in power engineering and energy economics, and why it sits so close to an industry that hires its graduates.
Tier 5 "excellent" since 2017
It has held the top band of Malaysia's SETARA higher-education rating system without a break since 2017.
An energy specialism nobody else has
Electrical Power Engineering and Energy Economics are standalone degrees here rather than tracks inside a general programme — which is rare in Malaysia.
Five colleges, two campuses
The College of Engineering, the College of Computing & Informatics, the UNITEN Business School, the College of Graduate Studies and the College of Continuing Education, across Putrajaya (Kajang) and Bandar Muadzam Shah in Pahang.
