UNIVERSITI TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN

Endowed Chairs

The University is committed to promoting research and scholastic development in diverse fields and has initiated the establishment of endowed chairs in 2009. This initiative has received good support from individuals, corporates, and foundations through the generous provision of endowments for the establishment of professorial chairs. Since 2009, nine chairs have been established and the active chairs as of today are four. This has enabled the appointment of professors to develop and achieve excellence in research, development, education, and training in the respective fields of specialisation.
