About
University of Putra Malaysia Sarawak (Malay: Universiti Putra Malaysia Sarawak), abbreviated as UPMS, is a twin campus of University of Putra Malaysia (UPM), located about 10 kilometers from Bintulu, Sarawak. Previously known as University of Putra Malaysia Bintulu Campus or UPMKB, it was reopened in November 2001 under UPM's 2001–2010 development strategy. On 30 June 2025, the campus was officially renamed as part of a rebranding initiative.. The change reflects an updated institutional identity and academic direction. UPMS was initially established to support UPM's focus on agricultural and biosource studies and has since expanded its scope.
UPMS covers 714 hectares and had over 1,500 students enrolled in 2019. It is situated in an area with diverse natural resources, which are incorporated into its academic and research activities related to agriculture and natural resource management. UPMS contributes to regional and national plans, including the Sarawak Post COVID-19 Development Strategy 2030, while remaining part of the broader UPM framework.
