COGS Tips and Tricks : A short guide to postgraduate study in UNITEN


I believe we all have this dream of getting the highest possible paper qualification. I also believe that this dream can be rationalised if you know how and do believe me when I say it is possible!

“HOW?”, you asked?

Exactly. I will tell you all the juicy details and relevant information that will hype you enough to get you to pursue your post graduate studies.

“WHERE”?

Where else, UNIVERSITI TENAGA NASIONAL or UNITEN, of course!

I believe there are a lot of reasons why we should continue studying. Apart from personal achievement, some job requires extra formal education for you to be promoted or even sponsor you to continue your study in related disciplines. Most of these reasons are good enough for some of us to kick start ourselves, unfortunately, there are others who did not have this golden chance under certain circumstances. Reluctance or no opportunities are their biggest hindrance to study, due to several factors such as financial, logistic details and courses being offered are not marketable.

You would say what I will write here is too good to be true but well, IT IS TOO GOOD AND IT IS TRUE!

DOUBLE bonus right there.

UNITEN is a private university that was established in 1999 and is wholly owned by Tenaga Nasional Berhad, a GLC. With its motto ‘Creative, Innovative & Energetic’, UNITEN undeniably managed to deliver its motto to thousands of their students and alumni’s. UNITEN's main campus is in Putrajaya, in the heart of Malaysia’s government administrative centre with a lot of facilities and undoubtedly making it the most strategic location to study at. UNITEN have another campus in Pahang for Business Studies.

Not convincing enough?

Well, UNITEN together with two other private universities were being the first time listed in QS World University Rankings 2019 top 50 under 50 surely proves that UNITEN continuously strives to provide the best education for its students.


UNITEN through its Centre of Graduate Studies (CoGS) offers full time and part time Master’s Degree and PhD from three main disciplines; Engineering, Information Technology and Business in pursuance to delivering the most competent graduates for Industry Revolution 4.0.

Bhd. and Innovation & Research Management Centre (iRMC) together with 3 centres of excellences and 24 research centres would definitely bring unlimited possibilities of exploring new research and technologies so you won’t be left out in the ever-changing technology.

UNITEN offers three (3) programme structures: -

Each programme has its own structures and subjects and you could read their handbook according to college here or you could click the programme page in the above tab.


Now, we come to one of the best reason to choose UNITEN. UNITEN offers scholarship and financial assistance for qualified students locally and internationally so you could focus on your study.

Oh, I forgot to mention we have a Graduate Activity Club (GAC) for post graduate students and actively organising knowledge-sharing sessions and community service activities. We also have 360 Global Exchange and Mobility (GEM) Club that allows students exchange for a semester which is by far the best I have seen. We have students from all over the world and we could learn in places we have never dreamt of if we are chosen to participate in any 360 GEM exchange programmes.
