About

UOW Malaysia is part of the University of Wollongong Australia’s global network, but has a long history of providing accessible, quality, tertiary education in Malaysia, and the surrounding regions, as KDU college and university colleges.

In November 2018, KDU entered into an agreement whereby UOW Global Enterprises, a wholly owned subsidiary of University of Wollongong Australia, acquired a controlling stake in the KDU university colleges and college. Subsequently, in November 2019, the name of the college and university colleges were changed to reflect the stewardship of the University of Wollongong and are now collectively known as UOW Malaysia. UOW Malaysia comprises the University of Wollongong Malaysia, UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College, UOW Malaysia KDU College and UOW Malaysia College. In addition to Malaysia, the University of Wollongong’s global network extends to campuses in Australia, Dubai and Hong Kong.

UOW Malaysia shares UOW’s spirit of innovation and focus on producing career-ready graduates to meet real-world needs. This expansion allows a combination of UOW’s internationally recognised teaching programs and personalised approach with UOW Malaysia’s state-of-the-art campuses and vibrant, industry-focused programs. These range from Foundation and Bachelor’s Degree to Postgraduate levels in Business, Communication, Creative Arts, Computing, Game Development, Engineering, Hospitality, Tourism, Culinary Arts, and Nursing. Further, it provides a high-quality educational experience that will help shape graduates and foster their growth in becoming future global leaders.
