About Institution
The history of Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) began with the establishment of the Malaysian Military Academy (ATMA) on 1 June 1995 as the organization responsible for conducting study programs at the Bachelor's level and military training for Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) Cadet Officers.?The role of ATMA was later expanded by making it UPNM which was gazetted on 10 November 2006.
Although UPNM started recruiting the first group of students in the 2007/2008 session, in fact it has had the experience of conducting study programs at the Bachelor level for 11 years from 1995 to 2006 through a cooperation program between the Ministry of Defense and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia where about 1017 graduates have been released in three fields covering Engineering, Science and Management. In addition to obtaining professional qualifications, all graduates have been accredited as ATM Officers and they are currently serving in various units in the Army, Royal Malaysian Navy and Royal Malaysian Air Force.
UPNM was established by the Government of Malaysia on 21 June 2006 to produce military and civilian graduates for national defense needs. The UPNM corporation order was issued on 6 November 2006 to begin academic studies for the 2007/2008 session. For the recruitment of new students for the 2007/2008 session, a total of 550 students reported for the Basic Defense Program which consisted of 121 civilian students and 350 military students. Meanwhile, for the undergraduate program a total of 130 public students and 297 Defense Foundation students will follow the undergraduate program in the fields of Engineering, Science and Technology as well as Defense Management and Studies. To start the 2007/2008 session, UPNM has established 3 faculties in addition to the Defense Foundation Center, namely the Faculty of Defense Engineering,
The academic programs offered at the faculty are on par with foreign and domestic IPTAs. This program will be able to attract students because it provides a curriculum that covers the field of science and defense technology in the form of hands on. The knowledge gained can be applied to national defense assets such as naval vessels, aircraft and military equipment in the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM). In addition, it can be applied in the industrial sector based on the latest science and technology.
