Testimonials
Being a pioneer of UTP’s Chemical Engineering programme from 1996 to 2001 gave me the foundation to contribute to PETRONAS and the nation. My time at UTP shaped the career I have today, from technical consultancy and research programmes to technical management across various HSE functions throughout the PETRONAS Group. UTP continues to be recognised as a centre of technical excellence, producing high-quality engineering graduates for industry.
