The political culture of the students at the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Negeri Sembilan Branch Seremban Campus is investigated in this study. The three political dimensions of; level of politicisation, subjective political competence and understanding of political issues from perspective of government politics and nation are examined in order to achieve this. These factors were arranged in relation to the respondents' demographics, including gender, former study, parents' level of education and family income level. 132 respondents from the Faculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies' final-year students responded to the questionnaire used in this study to collect data (FSPPP). According to the research, the political culture among UiTM students was low to moderate. This due to their lack of involvement in club and association activities at the university and lack of involvement in knowing political issues in Malaysia. The degree of political culture on campus did not depend on gender, parents level of education and family income classification. The factors that have influenced the political climate among UiTM students can be traced back to the students' former study. It's interesting to note that compared to their male counterparts, female students displayed a higher level of political culture.
