Welcome Message from the Dean
Established in 1972, the Faculty of Built Environment has built a proud legacy in the built environment education in Malaysia. Our very first programme, Diploma in Technology (Building), has produced many of the nation's prominent leaders in the construction industry. Today, we proudly offer 15 attractive and well-recognised programmes, ranging from Diploma to PhD, across four key disciplines: Architecture, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying and Real Estate.
At the Faculty of Built Environment, the tagline “Shape Skylines, Build Careers” reflects our aspiration.
“Shape Skylines” reflects the transformative impact of the built environment. Whether through iconic architecture, thoughtfully planned urban spaces, or sustainable infrastructure, we prepare our students to play a vital role in shaping the world. From buildings to streetscapes to interior environments, our graduates create the spaces that, in turn, shape how people live, work, and connect.
“Build Careers” highlights our unwavering commitment to professional development and employability. With strong industry linkages, practical and forward-looking curriculum, our programmes are designed to open doors and lay solid foundations for meaningful, impactful careers.
At the heart of our faculty is a dedicated team of experienced and passionate educators, committed to nurturing the next generation of leaders in the built environment industry.
To all our students, I urged you to think beyond the conventional, to be bold in your ideas, and to let your creativity flourish. Embrace digitalisation. Be part of the transformative journey of artificial intelligence as it reshapes and advances the built environment industry toward a smarter, more sustainable future. And most importantly, immerse yourself fully in the thoughtfully designed programmes, crafted to prepare you for success not only in your career, but in life.
