Financial literacy among graduate students is rapidly becoming a growing concern. Many students enter university with little knowledge of basic consumer finance (U.S. Department of Education, 2008). This research would explore more the financial literacy among UiTM students who are aged between 20 to 25 years old. Some of the obstacles of financial literacy are due to a lack of basic financial knowledge among them. One way to overcome the problem of financial literacy is to offer financial education classes and financial programmes with young adults and students. For this research, a thirty - six questions survey was administered to 150 among UiTM students specifically a degree level of students.
