The Faculty of Education, Social Sciences and Humanities at Universiti Poly-Tech Malaysia is a thriving academic community dedicated to excellence in education and research. We take pride in offering a diverse array of programs tailored to the needs of our students, including undergraduate and graduate programs in education, English language, and early childhood education.
From the Dean's Table
Welcome to the Faculty of Education, Social Sciences and Humanities (FESSH), Universiti Poly-Tech Malaysia (UPTM).
At FESSH, we believe that education has the power to shape individuals, strengthen communities, and transform society. Our commitment extends beyond academic achievement to developing graduates who think critically, communicate effectively, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them. We strive to provide an enriching learning environment that prepares our students to navigate an ever-changing world with knowledge, confidence, and integrity.
Our faculty brings together four distinctive disciplines: Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL), Applied English Language Studies, Early Childhood Education, and Corporate Communication. Through these programmes, we aim to equip our students with strong academic foundations, relevant professional competencies, and the ability to translate knowledge into meaningful action. We believe in connecting theory with practice, encouraging innovation, and fostering the values of empathy, responsibility, and lifelong learning.
As higher education continues to evolve, FESSH remains committed to academic excellence, continuous improvement, and meaningful collaboration with industry and the wider community. Our aspiration is to cultivate an environment where ideas flourish, diverse perspectives are valued, and opportunities for growth are accessible to all. Achieving this vision requires a shared commitment from our academic staff, students, alumni, partners, and stakeholders.
To our students, I encourage you to embrace every opportunity to learn, explore your potential, and challenge yourselves to grow beyond your comfort zones. The journey ahead is not simply about earning a qualification; it is about developing the knowledge, character, and capabilities to make a lasting difference in your chosen fields and in society.
As Dean, I look forward to working alongside the FESSH community to advance our shared aspirations, strengthen our academic programmes, and create meaningful opportunities for future generations.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, let us shape a future in which knowledge inspires action, education creates opportunity, and every contribution makes a difference.
Welcome to FESSH, UPTM.
