BACKGROUND
Fame That Transcended Three Generations
The Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI) has played its own unique role in the educational history of this nation. At the beginning
of its inception, this University was a Teachers’ Training College before it was upgraded to what it is now. UPSI went through three
different eras, Sultan Idris Training College (SITC), 29 November 1922 - 1957, Sultan Idris Teachers’ Training College (MPSI),
1957 - 1987 and Sultan Idris Teachers Institute (IPSI), 21 February 1987 - April 1997. These three eras saw the institution producing
generations of teachers and educators that spanned 75 years. The university entered a new era in 1 May 1997 when the institute
was upgraded to a University. It was officially named Sultan Idris Education University (SIEU) under the Government gazette RU.
(A) 132 & 133 on 24 February 1997 under the Order of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (Corporation) and the Order of Universiti
Pendidikan Sultan Idris (Campus) 1997.
At the beginning of its establishment, there were only four faculties offering ten programs of studies. They were the
Faculty of Languages, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Arts, the Faculty of Science and Technology and the Faculty of Cognitive
Sciences and Humanities. The number of programs increased over the years. In 2002, two more faculties were established, namely
the Faculty of Business and Economics and the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication. By that time, there were
six faculties offering 19 programs of study at Bachelors level. This increase reflected the transformation carried out to cater to the
academic needs and the increasing number of students enrolling at this University. Later, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Arts
was renamed the Faculty of Arts and Music whereas the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities and the Faculty of Sport
Sciences were established as new faculties.
The restructuring of all the faculties in UPSI was implemented in 1 June 2010 with the objective of increasing its
competitiveness. This objective is put in place in order to realise the university’s stated vision and mission of being a pioneer
institution in innovation and creativity, research, commersialisation, high-impact and creative inventions and producing a creative
workforce to further develop the nation. The existing faculties are as follows:
LIST OF FACULTIES
1. Faculty of Science and Mathematics;
2. Faculty of Human Development;
3. Faculty of Languages and Communication;
4. Faculty of Sport Sciences and Coaching;
5. Faculty of Human Science;
6. Faculty of Music and Performing Arts;
7. Faculty of Arts, Computing and Creative Industry;

132 “Nurturing Creative Minds”

ABOUT THE FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS
The history of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics began with the establishment of the Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
(UPSI) in 1997 with the name, the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST). In line with the vision and mission to transform
UPSI to be internationally renowned, UPSI restructured the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) to become the Faculty of
Science and Mathematics (FSM) effective from 1st June 2010. The restructuring of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics is
to prepare the faculty to lead the exploration of current and relevant knowledge so that FSM will always be at the helm of science
and mathematics. The Faculty of Science and Mathematics will play its role in the development and transformation of the
nation’s educational agenda of through its existing programs, new researches, consultancies, publications and community
service activities.
Programs offered by FSM are programs that are related to science and mathematics. The main goal of each program
is to improve and strengthen the knowledge and skills of future graduates or teachers and to prepare them in the field of science
and mathematics education in the secondary schools and tertiary institutions. Programs offered hopefully will contribute towards
the development and advancement of knowledge and skills, basic sciences, applied sciences and mathematical logics in line
with the faculty's motto; that is "Nurturing Creative Mind." The excellence achievements by the faculty are evidenced by the
numerous awards and recognitions given in the fields of researches and innovations at the national and international levels. In
addition, the Faculty of Science and Mathematics is also active in community services through various activities and on-going
programs including the Perak Expo for Young Scientists (PEYS) and several activities under the BITARA school project and
the Cluster School KPT-KPM project.
FACILITIES FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS

ACADEMIC ADVISORY SYSTEM
1. Introduction
The Academic Advisory System is the service given by the academic staffs to guide, advise and help students to
solve their academic problems. In the credited semester system, students are allowed to choose courses according
to their interests and abilities. Therefore, the students need to be advised by the Academic Advisor (AA) from time to
time so that the time spend in this university are well planned so that they can complete their studies at the university
successfully.
2. Academic Advisor Concepts

An academic advisor is a university staff (usually an academic staff of the faculty) assigned to guide students in their
studies. Under this system, an academic advisor is assigned to assist students in clarifying the objectives of the
program, help plan the academic courses to be taken and guide students to their full potential to meet all the
graduation requirements. Normally an academic advisor is assigned to the several students (10-15 students) to assist
and advise them from the first day of their university life until they completed their studies at the university.
3. The Objectives Academic Advisory System

3.1 Assist students to improve their academic potential;
3.2 Provide guidance to the students in planning their studies and other activities that could improve their
