Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication 

The foundation of the Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication (FBMK) can be traced back to the establishment of the National Language Section and the English Language Section at the College of Agriculture Malaya, following the enforcement of the Language Act 1967. In 1971, both sections were merged and renamed the Language Section, which comprised the National Language and English. This section was later upgraded to the Department of Languages in 1972 and placed under the Faculty of Agriculture.

On 15 January 1975, the Department of Languages was transferred to the Faculty of Educational Studies. On 4 January 1995, the department was upgraded to become the Faculty of Language Studies. On 1 January 1999, the Department of Development Communication from the Faculty of Human Ecology was transferred to the Faculty of Language Studies and renamed the Department of Communication. With this transfer, the Faculty of Language Studies was officially renamed the Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication (FBMK).

Currently, FBMK comprises four departments: the Department of Malay Language, the Department of English Language, the Department of Foreign Languages, and the Department of Communication. The Department of Malay Language offers courses in Malay language, Malay linguistics, and Malay literature. The Department of English Language offers courses in English language and English literature. The Department of Foreign Languages offers courses in languages such as Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, French, Spanish, German, and Tamil. It also offers courses in Arabic Language and Chinese Literature. The Department of Communication offers courses in human communication, corporate communication, journalism, and broadcasting.

In addition, FBMK supports the School of Graduate Studies in offering postgraduate programs (Master’s and Ph.D.) in fields such as Malay language, English language, Arabic language, Malay literature, English literature, Chinese literature, and corporate communication. FBMK also offers part-time bachelor's degree programs through a trimester system and collaborates with UPM Education & Training Sdn. Bhd. to conduct distance education (PJJ) programs.
