About UTAR Sungai Long Campus
UTAR Sungai Long Campus is the principal Klang Valley campus of Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), operating as the consolidated central peninsular operations of UTAR following the 1 June 2015 consolidation. The consolidation move relocated UTAR’s previous Setapak Kuala Lumpur and Section 13 Petaling Jaya campus operations into the purpose-built Sungai Long site, providing a unified Klang Valley campus footprint that strengthened UTAR’s institutional presence in the central peninsular region.
The campus is located in Bandar Sungai Long, a main township in Kajang, Selangor, providing students with the central Klang Valley location alongside the dedicated purpose-built campus environment. The Sungai Long township area provides surrounding facilities and services supporting banking, housing, public transport, shopping, and meals for student convenience.
The institutional positioning combines the broader UTAR institutional identity with the distinctive Klang Valley campus role. UTAR operates a two-campus model with the Kampar main campus in Perak housing the foundational arts, science, and engineering faculties alongside the postgraduate research operations and institutional chancellery functions, while the Sungai Long Campus concentrates on specific high-priority faculty areas including medicine and health sciences, accountancy and management, creative industries, and engineering and science.
