Development of holistic, entrepreneurial and balanced students has been the focus of Ministry of Higher Education since the introduction of iCGPA. This inspiration can be fulfilled through the advantage of Faculty of Education Outward Bound Centre as a venue for experiential teaching and learning activities. Situated next to UTM University Health Centre, Outward Bound offers a venue for students to tap their undiscovered potentials through experiential learning.<\/p>\n
