Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT)

Universiti Malaysia Terengganu began as Universiti Pertanian Malaysia's Centre for Fisheries and Marine Science, located at Mengabang Telipot, Kuala Terengganu. The Centre transformed into a branch campus, being renamed Universiti Pertanian Malaysia Terengganu (UPMT) in June 1996. Then Terengganu Universiti College was given autonomy on 1st May 2001 and was renamed the Malaysian Science and Technology University College (KUSTEM) on 20th June 2001. On 1st February 2007, KUSTEM was given the status of a full-fledged university, and with that elevation, it was renamed again and remain to this very day as Universiti Malaysia Terengganu.

Its' philosophy is that the integration of knowledge and practice based on the faith in Allah is fundamental to the university's endeavour in preparing competent human capital for global prosperity. Its' vision is "A marine-focused university, reputed nationally and respected globally". Slogan is "Ocean of Discoveries, for Global Sustainability".
