About Us

The Programme was later recognised by the Department of Public Service Malaysia (JPA) in 1996. Today, the Programme has succeeded producing thirteen generations of graduates and counting.

In 2006, FUHA has made a bigger success when its proposal to offer the Bachelor of Laws (LLB Programme) has been approved by the Ministry of Education (formerly known as the Ministry of Higher Education), and the first enrollment of students was taken place in July the same year. For eight consecutive years and counting, FUHA is looking forward to producing law graduates with quality and well-equipped to work in legal world.

On 1 January 2007, KUSZA has officially become one of UniSZA’s campuses, where all study programmes offered previously including the Diploma in Law and LLB Programme are continuously taught. In March 2007, FUHA was established and was given a responsibility to conduct the study programmes.
