Sunway University, one of Malaysia’s leading private universities which is a strictly not-for-profit institution and dedicated to quality education, supporting enterprise, and undertaking research focused on key global problems. Sunway University is located near the heart of Sunway City, one of Malaysia’s greenest, safest and most sustainable cities on the periphery of Kuala Lumpur. Our state-of-the-art modern campus is connected to a wide range of social and community amenities by safe walkways at tree top level (the “canopy walk”) giving a unique sustainable study, work and social environment for our students and staff on campus and around Sunway City.
The University has a 5-star “excellent” rating by the Malaysian government (in the latest Setara assessment exercise), and is one of just eleven universities in Malaysia to be awarded the special “Premier Digital Technology University” status. The University is relatively young by global standards, but is already ranked within the top 2% of universities in the world (QS World University Rankings), and in the top 1.5% of universities in Asia, as well as being ranked within the top 150 universities in the world under 50 years old. Sunway University academic programmes include a broad range of diplomas, foundation, bachelors’ degrees, masters’ degrees, and PHD degrees. They also offer some short courses. All of their programmes have been designed to meet industry needs and give optimal employment or further study opportunities. Sunway University developed close collaborations with many leading international universities including Harvard University and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Sunway University has a very close relationship with Lancaster University in the UK, enabling our students on many programmes to also qualify for Lancaster degrees. So welcome to a globally connected, forward looking university, dedicated to sustainability, and located in arguably one of the most exciting campus destinations on the planet in the warm heart of tropical sunny Malaysia.
