Industry Advisory Panel


The Industry Advisory Panel is a valuable resource to empower UTP with essential industry perspectives. Since its inaugural meeting on 7 May 2007, the panel has been ensuring that the standard of education remains relevant to industrial practices, and provides a gateway to forge strong alliances with industry players. The panel consists of senior industry practitioners with vast experience and expertise in their respective fields to assist in the planning and continuous quality improvement of the programmes offered in UTP. Panel members meet heads of departments annually to fine-tune UTP's academic curriculum, teaching methodology, facilities, and practices, ensuring all aspects of learning are in tune with emerging industry needs.
