Description
Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), which was officially established on 16 February 1984, is the sixth Malaysian public university. It is the only university that was set up to specialise solely in management education from the very beginning of its establishment.

The permanent UUM campus, referred to as the Sintok Campus, commenced operations on 15 September 1990.
