IN THE HEART of Malaysia’s education landscape, a new chapter is unfolding at the University of Cyberjaya (UoC), with the appointment of Professor Dr David Whitford as its Vice Chancellor, whose impressive track record is poised to lead the University to new heights of excellence.
Whitford graduated in medicine from both Cambridge and Newcastle universities in the UK. Following vocational training in general practice, he practised as a family physician for 16 years in Newcastle upon Tyne, establishing a practice at the forefront of quality medical care in the UK.
In recognition of his contributions, he was awarded a Fellowship from the Royal College of General Practitioners in 1996 and a Doctorate from Cambridge University in 2003.
In a recent interview, Whitford shared insights into his vision for UoC:
“The area I really believe in, in terms of the vision for the university, is the need to be very innovative in the way that we think,” he said, underscoring the importance of adapting to the rapidly evolving educational landscape.
