On 15 October 1992, the Ministry of Education Malaysia had approved for the establishment of School for Continuing Education for UTM to promote lifelong learning programmes. The School was officially launched in July 1993 and known as the School of Professional and Continuing Education (SPACE). Initially, SPACE offered part-time UTM academic programmes in collaboration with UTM faculties and conducted short courses and Seminars.
In 2010. SPACE managed UTM Centre for Diploma Studies and UTM Franchise Management Unit which offered UTM Diploma programmes.
Currently, SPACE is actively involved in offering and conducting UTM academic programs such as Foundation, Diploma and Degree either on a full-time or part-time basis. SPACE is led by a Chair and assisted by two Associate Chairs. SPACE also manages the franchising of UTM academic programmes locally and abroad.
