UiTM2025 provides a future priorities framework by explicitly stating that UiTM is highly committed to establishing a world-class research platform for global performance by providing impactful portfolios on translational research, high-impact publications, creative and smart innovations, and partnerships with stakeholders. However, the design and implementation of international activity set out in UiTM2025 does not mean that the University has adequate capacity to address global issues, thereby undermining its international positioning and outlook.
