A Young University Setting Impeccable Global Standards

Sunway University is based in Sunway City, a thriving green resort and digital smart city that is built on reclaimed former tin-mining land on the western side of Kuala Lumpur in the heart of the Klang Valley. The University was established in 2011 and is relatively young by the global standards, but is already ranked within the top 2% of universities in the world (QS World University Rankings), in the top 1.5% of universities in Asia, as well as in the top 150 universities in the world under 50 years old.Sunway 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. It has developed a close collaboration with many leading international universities including Harvard University and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. These are named after the founder of Sunway City and of the University, Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah, who is also the Chairman of Sunway Group, one of Malaysia's leading industrial conglomerates and the developer of Sunway City. The university also has a very close relationship with Lancaster University in the UK, enabling students on many programmes and qualifying them for Lancaster degrees.
