“This initiative reflects UniMAP’s commitment to nurturing a workforce that excels not only in technical competencies, but also in professional conduct, discipline and courteous communication,” the university said in a statement.

Meanwhile, in the same statement, UniMAP vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Zaliman Sauli stressed the importance of mastering protocol and social etiquette in preserving the image and reputation of the institution, particularly when engaging with local and international stakeholders. 

“As a university that consistently engages with students, parents, government agencies, industry players and key stakeholders, including the royal household and ministries, we must possess strong social etiquette and protocol skills to ensure our interactions remain professional, courteous, and well-structured,” he said.

He expressed hope that participants, particularly deans and heads of departments, would take the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and fully benefit from the knowledge imparted.

The course was also attended by UniMAP’s deputy vice-chancellors, senior university officials, faculty deans, department heads, and director of the Corporate Communication Centre, Muhamad Azuan Mohamad Nasir, as well as representatives from its various associations.
