Dean's Message

Assalamualaikum Wrt Wbt and Greetings to all.

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Faculty of Law and International Relations (FUHA), Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) — a faculty that stands proudly on the foundation of intellectual tradition, ethical values, and a vision for the future. Established in 2007, FUHA has since evolved into a vibrant academic community committed to excellence in teaching, research, and service in the fields of Law and International Relations.

Our roots date back to the days of Kolej Ugama Sultan Zainal Abidin (KUSZA), where the Diploma in Law programme was first introduced in 1991 and later recognised by the Public Service Department (JPA) in 1996. This legacy was further enriched with the establishment of the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) (Hons) in 2006 and the Bachelor of International Relations in 2014. Today, FUHA offers a comprehensive range of academic programmes from Diploma to Bachelor’s, and further to postgraduate studies at the Master’s and Doctoral levels in both Law and International Relations.

At FUHA, we are driven by a deep sense of purpose to nurture individuals who are not only intellectually capable but also ethically grounded and socially responsible. Guided by an educational philosophy that balances knowledge and values, our goal is to develop graduates who are refined in character, sound in judgment, and committed to justice, diplomacy, and the public good. Our academic offerings are designed to instill strong theoretical foundations, practical skills, and critical insights—empowering students to respond to contemporary legal and global challenges with confidence and integrity.

As a faculty, we are continuously working towards enhancing the quality and recognition of our programmes at the international level. We aspire to contribute to the development and reform of law and international relations education, in line with Malaysia’s aspirations and global needs. This ambition is supported by our team of dedicated academic staff, all of whom are qualified and actively engaged in teaching, research, publication, and consultancy.

In line with UniSZA’s mission to produce knowledgeable and noble graduates, FUHA remains committed to producing professional talents who can contribute meaningfully to both the public and private sectors. Whether in courtrooms, boardrooms, diplomatic missions, or civil society, our graduates are equipped to lead with wisdom, empathy, and resilience.
