UNIVERSITI UTARA MALAYSIA

PHILOSOPHY

Cognizant of the fact that God will not change the destiny of a people until
the people themselves endeavour to change it;

Appreciating that Malaysia has been blessed with a wealth of both human
and natural resources;

Realising that both these resources must be garnered as best and as
effectively as possible, and that the keys to success are planning,
managing, monitoring, re-evaluating, and adhering to knowledge, science,
and technology;

Convinced that humankind cannot subsist merely on material progress
without humanitarian qualities, civility, and conviction of faith, and
that natural sources cannot be allowed to be exploited to the extent of
threatening human civilisation itself;

Universiti Utara Malaysia, thus dedicates itself to the goal of nurturing
graduates who have the ability and leadership qualities of the highest
degree in planning and managing human and natural resources
scientifically and creatively for the prosperity and peace of the people, 21
harmony of the nation, and peace throughout the world.

The University resolves to foster excellence in scholarship, research,
publication, and service to society, especially in efforts to develop and
manage human and natural resources efficiently.

Over and above this, the University aspires to nurture well-rounded
graduates with scholastic, social, and humanistic qualities, who are well
balanced in their make-up, and always guided by sublime and noble
values.

Towards achieving the above, the University, as well as its students and
staff, fully embrace the values embodied in its motto:

KNOWLEDGE, VIRTUE, SERVICE.
