This is where the role of the Centre for Shaping Advanced & Professional Education (UKMShape) lies, as a leader in providing access to lifelong education that is flexible, relevant, and inclusive, not only at the national level but also internationally.
UKMShape offers a variety of academic and professional programs designed to meet the needs of individuals from diverse backgrounds whether school leavers, working professionals, or those seeking to enhance their skills. UKMShape is also committed to producing graduates and a workforce who are not only knowledgeable but also ethical, competitive, and ready to face challenges in an ever-evolving global landscape.
In line with this goal, UKMShape prioritizes two (2) key principles in every aspect of its management and service delivery: Institutional Transparency and Operational Efficiency. These are not mere slogans, but approaches that will be continuously implemented through process reviews, data monitoring, and improvements based on feedback.

To strengthen this effort, UKMShape will focus on four (4) main areas:

  1. Transparent Governance – UKMShape is committed to openly sharing information related to policies, achievements, and performance, including annual reports and key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be evaluated by all stakeholders.
  2. Operational Transformation & Efficiency – Existing processes and agreements are constantly reviewed to ensure no wastage of time and resources. UKMShape also strives to simplify dealings for students and strategic partners through smoother processes.
  3. Stakeholder Engagement – The voices of students, industries, agencies, and communities are always taken into account through various channels such as feedback sessions, satisfaction surveys, and constructive bilateral collaborations.
  4. Stakeholder Engagement – The voices of students, industries, agencies, and communities are always taken into account through various channels such as feedback sessions, satisfaction surveys, and constructive bilateral collaborations
