Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology Cawangan Perak

TAR UMT Cawangan Perak is located at Jalan Kolej, Taman Bandar Baru, 31900 Kampar, Perak. Kampar is a township in the southern Perak state, accessible via the North-South Expressway and the broader Perak road network. The Kampar location places the campus approximately 2.5 hours by road from central Kuala Lumpur and approximately 1 hour from Ipoh.

TAR UMT Cawangan Perak and the [UTAR Kampar main campus](/university/universiti-tunku-abdul-rahman-utar/) are two separate institutions that both have campuses in the broader Kampar educational township. Both institutions share a similar Chinese community founding heritage and trace lineage to the broader Tunku Abdul Rahman institutional family, but operate as separate accredited institutions. UTAR (Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman) is the larger sister institution with its principal main campus in Kampar. TAR UMT (Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology, formerly TAR UC) operates its principal main campus in Kuala Lumpur with the Perak Branch in Kampar serving the regional catchment.

TAR UMT Cawangan Perak typically offers programmes from the broader TAR UMT institutional portfolio at Diploma and Bachelor levels. TAR UMT operates nearly 200 programmes across accountancy, finance, business, economics, engineering, applied sciences, ICT, mass communication, creative arts, social science, built environment, and hospitality management. Specific Perak Branch programme listings should be confirmed directly with TAR UMT admissions.

Kampar emerged as the principal Chinese community higher education centre in Perak through the broader Tunku Abdul Rahman institutional development that began with TAR College in 1969 (now serving the TAR UMT operations) and continued with the establishment of UTAR (Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman) in 2002. The two institutions evolved from a shared institutional heritage but became separate accredited entities, with both maintaining campus presence in Kampar to serve the Perak Chinese community catchment alongside the broader Malaysian student communities. The dual presence reflects the historical importance of the Kampar township in Chinese community higher education provision.

TAR UMT (Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology) traces its institutional heritage to TAR College, founded in 1969 as a Chinese community-aligned college serving the Malaysian Chinese community's higher education needs. The institution evolved through TAR College and Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) phases before the 2022 rebrand to TAR UMT marking the upgrade to full university status. The Perak Branch campus provides regional Perak state access to this broader institutional heritage.

Yes. TAR UMT Cawangan Perak operates under the broader Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology institutional registration with the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education. The campus and its programmes are listed on the Malaysian Qualifications Agency public register, with individual programmes carrying their own MQA accreditation references.

The Perak Branch in Kampar serves the Perak state student community and the broader northern peninsular catchment including Kedah, Penang, and Perlis. The Kampar location provides regional access for students who prefer to study within the Perak educational cluster rather than relocating to the Klang Valley. The branch operates alongside the [TAR UMT Penang Branch](/university/tunku-abdul-rahman-university-of-management-and-technology-cawangan-pulau-pinang/) in Tanjong Bungah, with the two campuses together providing TAR UMT institutional reach across the northern peninsular region.
