WELCOMEUCSI University opens doors for students everywhere. It collaborates with the world’s leading

universities, engages the best minds and partners with global companies.

UCSI is Asia’s fastest rising university and one of Malaysia’s best private universities. It is ranked in the top 1.8% of all universities in Asia in the QS University Rankings: Asia 2018 exercise, recording a meteoric 131- spot rise from its ranking in 2017. UCSI is also rated in Tier 5 (Emerging Universities) - the highest rating achieved by universities under 15 years old - in SETARA 2017, placing it on par with established foreign branch campuses in Malaysia. Long renowned for its excellent track record in teaching and learning, UCSI is quickly making a name in research and innovation. The number of research publications has gone up by 155% from 2013 to 2016 while the University’s cumulative impact factor score has increased by 957% over the same period. The number of UCSI’s Scopus/ ISI publications also doubled from 2015 to 2016, reflecting the increasing focus on scholarly pursuit.

This distinction opens doors for UCSI students and staff when it comes to

collaboration with leading companies, research institutes and the world’s best universities. Since 2014, UCSI’s top students have been selected to advance high impact research at Harvard, Imperial College London and Tsinghua. A batch of Pharmacy students also furthered research at the University of British Columbia and more endeavours are in the pipeline with leading universities in the Ivy League, the Russell Group, Universitas 21 and Australia’s Group of Eight. Synonymous with graduate employability, UCSI partners with more than 4,000 global companies to provide students with structured internship programmes and job opportunities. These tie-ups enable most UCSI students to

undergo at least two months of internship each year. 97.8% of UCSI’s industry partners stated that they would like to rehire UCSI interns on the basis of their performance, capabilities and professionalism.

More than 10,000 students from over 110 nations study at UCSI, making the University a vibrant melting pot of culture and diversity. Exchange programmes abound and more strategic tie-ups will be established with leading universities around the world. 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.

The recent addition of two new high-rise academic complexes at UCSI’s Kuala Lumpur increases its operational capacity by more than 1million ft2 of state-of-the-art learning space. Popular with students and parents, its designs embody the zeitgeist of 21st century dynamism and interconnectivity. Housing science labs, interactive learning spaces, lecture theatres, recital halls, commercial areas, classrooms, hostels, sports facilities and a multi-level parking facility, the new complexes will change the way how students perceive and experience education.

Job done? Not a chance. UCSI’s recent campus expansion is merely a microcosm of a far grander plan. More development will be undertaken to transform the Kuala

Lumpur campus into a prominent education city that defines the Cheras skyline. UCSI Hospital is also on the verge of completion. Built in support of the National Transformation Programme, this private teaching hospital is purposed to turn Springhill into a vibrant hub of healthcare, education and medical tourism.

EMPLOYABILITY MATTERS

PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION

UCSI runs what is virtually Malaysia’s largest university-industry network through its Co-Operative Placement (Co-Op) programme. This initiative sees UCSI working together with around 4,000 global companies to provide each student with at least two months of internship each year. This network includes many of the world’s best companies like Accenture, CIMB, Citibank, Deloitte, DHL, Ernst & Young, Hewlett-Packard,

HSBC, KPMG, Maybank, Nestle, Samsung, Schlumberger, Standard Chartered, Ogilvy, P&G, Petronas and PWC, among many others.

Through Co-Op, UCSI students gain invaluable industry exposure through structured internship programmes each academic year.

UCSI is recognised by many professional bodies. This sees UCSI students benefiting from professional paper exemptions and assured pathways to future-proof careers. As one of Malaysia’s leading universities, UCSI also benefits from international agreements like the Washington Accord. Under the accord, UCSI’s engineering programmes are recognised internationally and graduates can work in countries like Australia, Britain, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States, among others.
