The spirit of patriotism is a necessity in ensuring that the people always support and defend the sovereignty and national security of disruptions and disorders that come from within and beyond. The development of patriotism is very important in producing a group of people who are willing to sacrifice for the country and its people. Although the concept of patriotism is a concept of love of the nation passed from one generation to another, it requires a powerful medium in ensuring that the love of love in this country is always blooming and strong in today's society. Education is one way emphasized in strengthening the understanding and patriotism in Malaysia. Accordingly, a study was conducted in public university especially in Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) to see the student’s perception on Ethnic Relations Subjects as a medium to enhance the understanding of patriotism. The objective of this study is to examine the differences of students’ perception towards the Ethnic Relations subject according to ethnicity, ii) gender and iii) groups that have taken Ethnic Relations subject and groups who have not taken Ethnic Relations subject. The survey method was used and analyzed using Cronbach's Alpha reliability test, and independent-sample t-test.
