Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) is a Malaysian private university with a student body of around 20,000 people - the vast majority of whom are undergraduates. Established in 2002, the university initially offered just eight degree programs but now offers over 110. Teaching is spread across two campuses, one in Sungai Long, located within the Klang Valley in the state of Selangor, and the second in Kampar in the state of Perak. There are three academic intakes every year: one in January, one in May and another in October. Almost all courses are taught in English and so both local and international students must be able to demonstrate a sufficient level of English proficiency. The university has several international partnerships with universities in other countries including the United States, Germany, Canada and the UK.
