Faculty of Law

IRDC was originally created to manage research, consultancy, intellectual property protection and commercialisation. However, a new deputy Vice Chancellor’s post was formed in March 2008 and was made responsible for the intellectual property and commercialisation portfolio. IRDC was entrusted to enhance innovation and increase the rate of research outputs to be published in high impact journals.

Hence, IRDC was renamed Research Management Institute (RMI). This new structure was officially launched on 31st July 2008. In line with UiTM’s aspirations to be a Research University, RMI will initiate new research and innovation activities.

The divisions of RMI are responsible for managing, monitoring and implementing science and technology research, social science and management research, consultancy, financing for consultancy, innovation, publication and INFOREC (Information for Research and Consultancy).  RMI conducts seminars, workshops and road shows to encourage, motivate and train the academic and non-academic staff on research and consultancy, secure research grants and projects, manages their finances well and publishes research work in a responsible and ethical manner. RMI also organizes competitions to encourage innovations and inventions amongst the university’s academia.
