UCSI is a leading comprehensive private university in Malaysia. It is ranked in the top 300 in the 2015 QS Asian University Rankings. It is also rated in Tier 5 – the highest rating accorded to universities in Malaysia – in the Rating System for Malaysia Higher Education Institutions (SETARA).
Synonymous with graduate employability, UCSI runs what is virtually Malaysia’s largest university-industry network – aptly themed Co-Op – that involves more than 3,500 industry partners. Strategic tie-ups are inked with many of the world’s best companies and students benefit from structured internship programmes, job opportunities, research collaboration and technology transfers.
Academic diversity is one of UCSI’s strongest points. The University offers an eclectic range of industry-acclaimed programmes in medicine, pharmacy, engineering, applied science, business, IT, architecture, social science, music, tourism management, creative arts and design at its campuses in Kuala Lumpur, Kuching and Kuala Terengganu.
UCSI’s excellence in teaching and learning is increasingly complemented by its strong research output. Staff and students contribute immensely and the University constantly seeks new avenues to collaborate with industries, research institutes and world-class universities in the Ivy League, Russell Group, Universitas 21 and Australia’s Group of Eight. UCSI’s top medical and engineering students have been selected to pursue high-impact research programmes at Harvard and Imperial College London, respectively.
Internationalisation is another key focus of the University. Students from more than 80 countries study at UCSI and more strategic tie-ups with leading universities in France and Ireland are in the pipeline. With these unique strengths and more, UCSI stands out as a University that offers an education few can, provides experiences others can’t and delivers life-defining outcomes for students everywhere.
