HISTORY OF THE FACULTY


First established in 1959 as the Department of Economics within the Faculty of Arts, University of
Malaya in 1959. The Faculty of Economics and Administration (FEA) was founded in May 1966 to
meet the nation's growing demand for a professional workforce. Beginning with just 14 students and
three academic personnel, headed by Royal Professor Ungku Aziz, FEA has evolved into a flourishing
academic community of 1076 students, and 58 academic staff, among them professors and lecturers
with international reputation in their respective fields.
Drawing the strength of four departments; Economics, Administrative Studies and Politics,
Development Studies and Applied Statistics, FEA currently offers the Bachelor of Economics degree,
and four programmes at the postgraduate level, Master of Economics, Master of Public
Administration, Master of Applied Statistics and Doctor of Philosophy. Of the 975 students, 486 are
enrolled in the undergraduate programme while 489 are postgraduate students, including 98
international students from various countries such as Indonesia, Iran, China, Nigeria, Vietnam, Sudan,
Pakistan, Mynmar, Tanzania, Kazaskhtan, Uzbekistan dan Sri Lanka.
The FEA also administers the Population Studies Unit (PSU) that was set up in 1979 as part of the
Population and Family Health Project funded by the World Bank and the United Nations Fund for
Population Activities. Research and training on population related issues are conducted under the
auspices of the PSU.
The FEA is intensively engaged in enhancing academic excellence in the field of monetary and
financial economics through the Tun Ismail Chair, established in August 2000. As of 31st August 2008,
there have been four distinguished holders of the Chair, Professor Dr. Yilmaz Akyuz, Professor
Ronald McKinnon, Dato' Seri Panglima Andrew L.T. Sheng and Professor Dr. Takatoshi Ito.
In November 2006, the Royal Professor Ungku Aziz Chair was established to honour the contribution
of Royal Professor Ungku Aziz in the fields of education and economic development. Professor Jeffrey
D. Sachs is the first holder of the Royal Professor Ungku Aziz Chair. In conjunction with the
establishment of the Chair, the Centre for Poverty and Development Studies was set up at the Faculty
to serve as a focal point for academic work, research, consultancy and technical assistance in areas
related to poverty and development.
In upholding its research stance, the FEA collaborates wth the Malaysian Economic Association in the
publication of an international journal, the Malaysian Journal of Economic Studies (MUES). FEA also
has produced the International Journal of Institutions and Economies (IJIE).
