Praises due to Allah SWT, salutations upon The Prophet SAW.

It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I welcome all students and staff to the Institute of Professional Studies (IPS), Universiti Poly-Tech Malaysia. We begin this semester with a renewed sense of hope and optimism as we continue our journey towards academic excellence.

As the Dean of IPS, I am honored to lead a group of passionate and dedicated educators who are committed to providing a first-rate education to our students. Our goal is to equip the students with the skills, knowledge, and competencies necessary to succeed in the field of professional accounting.

I want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of studying. It requires the utmost commitment, dedication, and hard work to become a professional accountant. I urge all students to embrace this challenge with enthusiasm and passion.

At IPS, we value respectfulness and clear communication, and we strive to foster a sense of community among our faculty, staff, and students. Therefore, we encourage students to engage with us in open discussions and seek help when needed. Together, we can overcome any obstacles and achieve our academic goals.

Apart from academic excellence, we believe in developing potential and work ethic. We encourage all students to participate in student-community activities to gain experiences that will help them grow as a person and a professional.

In closing, I would like to end with a hadith by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), "Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim". Learning is fundamental to all our hopes and aspirations; the greater the learning, the greater the progress in life. Therefore, I urge you to continue to learn while maintaining a positive attitude, and if you fall, bounce back even higher.

Thank you for choosing IPS as your institution of choice. Please explore our website to learn more about our programs, curricula, requirements, and course offerings, and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require additional information.

May Allah SWT bless all of us and grant us success in our academic and personal endeavours.
