Outcome-Based Education

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is a student-centered learning approach that emphasizes the achievement of specific, measurable learning outcomes. At Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), OBE is implemented as a structured and goal-oriented framework that ensures all teaching, learning, and assessment activities are aligned with clearly defined outcomes. These outcomes reflect the knowledge, skills, and values students are expected to demonstrate upon graduation.

OBE supports continuous quality improvement in education and is in line with requirements set by professional and qualification bodies such as MQA, MOHE, BEM, EAC, LJBM, and MBOT. By focusing on what students can do with what they learn, UTAR’s OBE framework prepares graduates to be competent, ethical, and adaptable professionals who can make a positive impact in their fields and communities.
