About Universiti Putra Malaysia
Universiti Putra Malaysia started in 1931 as a School of Agriculture in Serdang, Selangor. It became the Malayan College of Agriculture in 1947 and was raised to university status as Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (Agricultural University of Malaysia) in 1971. In 1997 it took its current name to reflect a wider range of subjects, though agriculture and related sciences remain central.
