For Malaysians who are already working but still hope to continue their education, finding a study programme that fits around existing commitments can be an important consideration.

The Institute of Continuing Education and Professional Studies (iCEPS), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) is currently accepting new students for its part-time Diploma and Bachelor’s Degree programmes for the September 2026 intake.

Applications for Session I 2026/2027 have been extended until 7 September 2026, giving prospective students additional time to submit their applications.

The extension applies to programmes offered for the intake except programmes under the Faculty of Health Sciences.

What Is UiTM iCEPS?

iCEPS stands for the Institute of Continuing Education and Professional Studies. It is a centre under UiTM that manages continuing, professional and flexible learning opportunities.

Its programmes provide another study pathway for people who may not be following the conventional full-time university route, including those who are already in the workforce and lifelong learners.

According to the information provided, iCEPS offers more than 80 Diploma and Bachelor’s Degree choices, with its approach centred on accessible education and the motto “Preparation for Life.”

Its history can be traced back to 1973, when it began as the off-campus centre of the then Institut Teknologi MARA (ITM), before evolving through different structures and names over the years.

Who May Find Part-Time Study Suitable?

Returning to university does not always mean having to put a career completely on hold.

Part-time study can provide an alternative for those who want to work towards an academic qualification while continuing to manage their existing responsibilities.

This may be particularly relevant for working adults who want to improve their qualifications, develop their knowledge or pursue further education at a different stage of their lives.

Prospective students should still review the requirements of their chosen programme carefully before applying to ensure that they meet the relevant admission criteria.
