The Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD or University of Brunei Darussalam) is a national research university situated in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei, was founded in 1985 and is the oldest institution in existence. Nine research institutes, six academic service centers, and eight academic faculties make up the institution.[1]

History

The institution, which officially opened on 28 October 1985,[2] was an example of the government's efforts to provide higher education to as many members of the populace as possible. With the two faculties that have been established, close to 200 students have enrolled. A combination of foreign and Bruneian lecturers work at the university.[3]

In its inaugural class, the institution took in 176 students when it was created. At UBD, since then, there has been a growth in graduate studies, a rise in the number of graduates, the addition of new academic programs, and an improvement in infrastructure. The university relocated to Tungku Link, a location that was favourable for research and learning, in 1995.[4]

The GenNEXT Program, an educational framework created to help students succeed based on their unique learning styles, was launched by UBD in 2009. As part of the GenNEXT Program, UBD launched the Discovery Year program in 2011. Under this program, all students must take a year off from school.[4]

Today, UBD offers a range of programmes to enhance international relations, such as the Brunei-US Enrichment Programme for ASEAN[35] and the Discovery Year programme, which encourages students to go abroad during the third year of their undergraduate programme.[36]

Residential colleges

The more contemporary apartment-style dormitory, The Core Residential College (also known as The Core), is located on campus. Five separate study/bedrooms with air conditioning and a communal living room, kitchen, bathroom, and laundry area make up one apartment unit. The only housing option available to international students on the university campus is the Core, whether they are exchange or undergraduate students.[37] The Core is accessible for students with special needs thanks to wheelchair ramps and Braille plates. These students get first choice for accommodations on the lowest floor. The Core has an ATM that serves Baiduri, TAIB, and BIBD users. Apart from that, the Core has two discussion rooms that can hold up to fifty people each and may be rented. The public is welcome to utilise a surau located on the first floor of the Core.[38]

Campus

UBD IBM Centre

UBD IBM Centre

International Business Machines (IBM) and UBD collaborate on research projects through the UBD IBM Centre (previously known as UBD-IBM Research Institute). On 15 October 2011, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah inaugurated the centre. In accordance with the agreement that the Sultan first made public in September 2010, scientists from IBM and UBD collaborated to create climate models based on local climate data. These models integrated hydrological models into weather models, enabling the prediction of floods and the effects of climate change on rainforests. As a result of this collaboration, Brunei is home to the first IBM Blue Gene supercomputer in Southeast Asia.[41]

UBD Botanical Research Centre

UBD Botanical Research Centre

Located on the UBD campus amid an area of undisturbed heath woodland, the Universiti Brunei Darussalam Botanical Research Centre (UBD BRC) was originally established in 2013. On 3 February 2018, the UBD BRC was opened by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, in commemoration of the UBD-organized First International Symposium on "Ethnobotany in the Qur'an and Hadith - An Exploration."[42] This made UBD BRC the the nation's first botanical garden.[43] The botanical garden focuses on study, teaching, and protection of the country's flora. It is home to more than five hundred varieties of tropical plants, many of which are indigenous to Borneo and Brunei. Under the direction of UBD's IBER, the UBD BRC conducts research, focuses on research, and is a member of Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI).[44]

The UBD BRC is a 6 hectares (15 acres) site that is situated in a tropical lowland heath forest that the locals refer to as Kerangas forest. The Iban term "Kerangas" denotes territory where hill rice is unable to thrive, signifying the deficient nutritional content of the soil in heath forests. Less than 1% of Brunei's forests are Kerangas forests, which are extremely uncommon. Kerangas forests are more susceptible to forest fires due to their drier ecosystems. Additionally, invasive species like Acacia trees can invade damaged Kerangas forests.[42]

High conservation significance native species found in Kerangas woods include Gymnostoma nobile and Agathis borneensis, which are regarded as indicators of pristine Kerangas forests.  More than 500 species of tropical plants, majority of which are indigenous to Brunei and Borneo, are now housed in the live collections at the UBD BRC. The UBD BRC, a research center dedicated to native plant conservation, collaborates closely with regional partners and stakeholders to support Brunei's efforts to realise Wawasan Brunei 2035 and the Sustainable Development Goals 25 (Life on Land) and 23 (Climate Action).[42]

University Mosque

University Mosque in 2019

At a total cost of $7,600,000, construction on the University Mosque (Masjid Universiti) or Universiti Brunei Darussalam Mosque (Masjid Universiti Brunei Darussalam) began in 1992 and was finished in 1994. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah formally inaugurated the mosque in 1995. It can accommodate 1800 people.[45] In addition to hosting daily prayers for Muslim students and the community, the mosque is primarily utilized by the institution for religious events.[46][47]

Other facilities

There are several retail establishments on campus. A 6-seater vehicle is used for a shuttle service that runs Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 3:30 pm, first come, first served. Routes to Rimba Point and The Mall are covered by this service. The food court provides a range of meals and beverages to both students and the local community through three food stalls and one fast-food restaurant. Fully furnished with multimedia capabilities, the lecture hall can hold up to 208 people and may be rented for a full or half day.[38]

Controversies

Censorship

Maung Zarni, co-founder of the Free Burma Coalition, was employed as an assistant professor of Asian studies at UBD. However in January 2013, he had to quit due to restrictions on his public comments against the Rohingya massacre in Myanmar.[80][81][82] He attributed the situation to "extreme and unprofessional academic censorship" and stated it is "impossible to maintain his professionalism." He claims to have taken part in a London School of Economics (LSE) panel on human rights and the rule of law in June 2012. Aung San Suu Kyi attended the panel while traveling around Europe. He claims that as a kind of punishment, UBD withheld institutional and financial assistance from him 24 hours prior to his departure to London, forcing him to take personal leave and cover the US$3,000 airfare on his own.[83] The Human Rights Resource Centre for ASEAN has reported that as a result of this incident, scholars at Bruneian universities are expressly obliged to engage in self-censorship when discussing topics related to Islam and the monarchy.[84]
