Widad College.. Your
excellence begins here

Widad means love, caring and friendship. It is a name that carries the drive to lead and the spirit of independence. In July 2016 that name was given to a college in Kuantan, Pahang, when Widad Business Group (WBG) took over Shahputra College and Widad College (DK317(C)) was born.

It was more than a change of name. The takeover was part of Widad Business Group’s bigger programme to diversify the services it brings to the public. WBG is a publicly listed conglomerate, well known to Malaysians, with businesses in integrated facilities management, construction, real estate development, media, information technology, hospitality, health and communication.

At the heart of it all is one man’s conviction. Y. Bhg. Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Muhammad Ikmal Opat Abdullah, the founder of WBG, is a corporate leader who cares deeply about quality education. Tan Sri champions the belief that quality education is the foundation of an accomplished nation, and that every child deserves the chance to be educated, even if that chance has to be found in private education.

At Widad College, that belief became a promise: an education you can afford. Through our collaborations with public universities such as UiTM, UTM and UPM, we bring public university programmes to Kuantan at affordable fees.

Excellence is never an accident. Our campus facilities and infrastructure are here to produce quality graduates who are ready for industry, in Malaysia and internationally. Led by an experienced and committed management team, with professors at the head of our academic teams, Widad College has set its course firmly towards academic excellence.

Today, Widad College (WC) offers 8 diploma programmes and 1 pre-diploma programme, most of them accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and professional bodies. That recognition opens doors, and our graduates are sought after by industry at home and abroad. The proof is in the numbers: this institution has produced more than 20,000 graduates in many fields.

Our home is Bandar Indera Mahkota, Kuantan, the capital of Pahang on Malaysia’s East Coast. It is a city that draws visitors from Malaysia and abroad, free from heavy traffic, with the beaches of Teluk Chempedak and Cherating within easy reach. No wonder so many students choose WC as the place to further their studies.

And if the public university place you hoped for did not come, your story does not end there. At WC you follow the same syllabus as the public university, at a cost you can afford. We would be honoured to welcome you to Widad College. Your excellence begins here. Apply online today.
