Tun Abdul Razak, the university welcomed its first batch of 162 students in September 1998. On 21st December 1998, the university was officially launched by Tun Abdul Razak's eldest son, the then Minister of Education YB. Dato' Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak.

Since then, Universiti Tun Abdul Razak has become one of the first private learning institutions in Malaysia to receive the SIRIM certification of ISO 9001:2000. Additionally, the university had been awarded the prestigious MSC-status certification, which is a testament to the university's commitment in integrating technology and innovation in its teaching and learning techniques.

It views its responsibility of shaping the minds of the young, the intellectual leaders of tomorrow, very seriously. In its effort to produce competitive and capable graduates, the university constantly upgrades its syllabus in accordance to current industry standards. The university also implements innovative teaching methods to provide the best education possibilities for its students.

All our academic programmes, which were developed through close consultation with business and industry partners, the public sector and professionals, are approved by the Malaysian Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) and are developed to meet the high standards required by the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA).

While Universiti Tun Abdul Razak aspires to render services of the highest quality, it is also highly accessible to the community. Its PINTAR campus in Kelana Jaya, for example, is just 30 minutes away from the city of Kuala Lumpur and 45 minutes away from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
