The transformation process involves various procedures and many parties in particular the academics. The work pressure to fulfill the requirements and to achieve the transformation objectives leaves huge impacts on them. Therefore, the study was conducted to explore the academics’ understanding, the challenges they experience in the transformation process and types of supports provided by the management to manage the challenges. Mixed-methods approach was employed with a single case study as the primary qualitative approach followed by a survey to obtain data from a sample of a university college in Malaysia.

Thematic analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyse data obtained for the study. The findings indicate that the academics understood the transformation process and the challenges experienced in the process. Apart from that, the findings also reveal that twelve types of challenges were experienced by the academics in the transformation process including teaching and learning, supervision, research, publication and commercialization, consultation, community program, working culture and environment, management, funding, institution, academic identity and job security. Furthermore, the research discovers that the academics required supports from the management of the university college to realize the transformation process.
