The current government emphasizes on the development of human capital. Human capital with academic excellence has a large impact on a country’s economic growth and social stability. Thus as a first step, a plan will be carried out so that students who excel at secondary level would be selected and trained as a skilled human capital.
Outstanding students will also be given the opportunity to join an academic program that focuses on the intellectual concept, the ability to think and make observations and analytical reasoning. The program is a synthesis of several branches of study such as the history of philosophy, philosophy of science, mathematics and logic, combined with the law and business. Hence, Universiti Utara Malaysia feels for a need for academic program at undergraduate level to produce a more focused individual who can be an effective leader in all disciplines.
This desire can be achieved with the establishment of Bachelor of Philosophy, Law and Business. The program is closely designed to provide students with strong research skills.
