Completing this research was a challenging project for us. However, fortunately, we had the help of many parties who have made this task a success. All parties involved in the

completion of this research kept us motivated and on the course during all those when things didn't go as planned.

We would like to express my gratitude to our lecturer, Sir Mohd Ramlan Bin Mohd Arshad, who taught us many things about research and always gave a positive mind-set which she did not tell me that it would be difficult. We learn a valuable lesson about research in action.

Things didn't go as expected or planned. We have to make adjustments, but these adjustments must be justified and qualified. Thank you for the support, patience and ideas in assisting me with this project.

Our supervisor, Miss Shahidah Binti Abdul Razak deserves a special mention here. She was insistent on the meetings and deadlines which we did not quite appreciate then. But looking back, her toughness made us work harder and for that we will always be grateful.

Finally, this thesis is dedicated to our family for the vision and determination to educate us.

This piece of victory is dedicated to both of our parents, mum and dad. Alhamdulillah, we would like to thank God Almighty without whose blessings I will not have successfully completed this study.

ABSTRACT

The goal of this study is to examine the relationship between involvement in university association and personality development which involve leadership skills, communication skills and networking skills. This research used a persuasive sampling involving 385 students in UiTM Kampus Seremban 3. This research intended to establish that there is a relationship between independent variables and dependent variables. This study indicates involvement in university association and personality development. In this study, the survey approached the FSPPP student in UiTM Kampus Seremban 3 by distributing questionnaires successfully insight into the issues. Therefore, the findings of this study demonstrate that every student must participate actively in association in university to ease them to get job opportunities. Moreover, this study shows that by being involved in association, the students get to spread their networking skill and get new knowledge by having networking. This study concludes that involvement in association makes the students acquire personality development by having those skills (leadership skill, communication skills and networking skills).
