Preface
It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I extend my warmest greetings on behalf of Kolej Poly-Tech MARA (KPTM), Bangi as we embark on this strategic collaboration with Dublin Business School (DBS), Ireland. This partnership represents a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to enhance academic excellence and provide students with a globally recognized education.
At KPTM Bangi, we are committed to equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and international exposure necessary to excel in today’s competitive world. Our collaboration with DBS will not only expand academic opportunities but also foster a dynamic learning environment where students can gain valuable insights from diverse perspectives and global best practices.
Through this collaboration, we aim to strengthen academic pathways, promote knowledge exchange, and create an ecosystem that nurtures innovation and professional development. This initiative aligns with our vision of producing graduates who are industry-ready, adaptable, and capable of thriving in an increasingly interconnected world. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dublin Business School for their support and shared vision in making this collaboration a reality. Together, we will continue to pave the way for academic excellence and future-ready graduates.
I look forward to witnessing the success stories that will emerge from this partnership and the positive impact it will bring to our students, faculty, and institutions.

Kolej Poly-Tech MARA, Bangi
A warm welcome to our students who are part of the DBS – KPTM Bangi partnership and to those considering studying with us.
In 2014, DBS entered a transnational collaborative agreement on the delivery of the BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance with Kolej Poly-Tech Mara (KPTM) in Malaysia. DBS runs its BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance programme (awarded by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI)) at KPTM’s Bangi Campus in Malaysia.
DBS has a long standing relationship with MARA which started in the early 1990’s and has seen the collaborations resulting in thousands of Malaysian students graduating with DBS qualifications. The programme allows Malaysian students to obtain an Irish education award in Malaysia giving them a strong competitive edge and a valuable global perspective. This is strengthened with opportunities to visit Ireland through study abroad and short-term semester programmes.
I’m very proud of what this partnership has achieved and of the graduates it has produced.
I look forward to celebrating your future success.
