Abstract: Critical thinking and academic writing skills are important to be learnt by students especially at tertiary level. However, these two skills are reported not being able to be portrayed by students when they are required to solve problems. Hence, this study aimed to investigate students’ perceptions towards their critical thinking and academic writing skills and to determine relationship between the perceived critical thinking and academic writing skills. Cross-sectional research design was employed and there were 122 responses obtained. The results showed that students perceived both their critical thinking and academic writing skills as good and it was also discovered that there was a significant correlation between students self-perceived critical thinking and academic writing skills. This implicated that the educators needed to integrate both skills during the teaching and learning processes. Thus, future research could investigate students’ perceptions more in-depth by utilising qualitative approach and students’ academic performance could be added as another variable to be looked into by future researchers.
