The
Faculty of Business Management is embarking on a more aggressive
internationalization agenda so that the faculty and UiTM can benefit from the
international linkages generated with foreign universities and industries.
Discussion with Mr Andrew Paltridge
Recently, the management of the faculty had a discussion with Mr Andrew Paltridge, who is the Director, International, from the Queensland University of Technology, Australia. The Queensland University of Technology is a highly ranked business research university in Australia. It is triple accredited by AACSB, Equis and Association of MBAs. In addition, it is a research-intensive university, focusing on areas such as, among many others, economics, finance, and entrepreneurship. It is hoped that with this meeting, the faculty will be able to collaborate with QUT and learn what it takes to become a leading research faculty, thus paving the way for UiTM to be a research -intensive institution. The faculty also hopes to develop close ties with QUT Business School in student exchange, joint PhD supervision, cohort PhD, and joint research programs.
