The Group’s Education division is
spearheaded by the International
University of Malaya- Wales (IUMW)
which was established based on a
mutual partnership between Universiti
Malaya (UM) & the University of
Wales, UK in 2013.
Leveraging on this partnership, IUMW
stands out in the market as one of
the first universities in Malaysia
to offer Dual Award programmes
in collaboration with its partner
university, the University of Wales
Trinity Saint David (UWTSD), UK.
IUMW’s unique origins enable it to
draw on the expertise, reputation and
intellectual capital of UM and UWTSD
to offer market-oriented Foundation,
Undergraduate and Postgraduate
programmes in the core subject
areas of Business, Communication &
Technology, and Science & Psychology.
To ensure that students are future-
proofed for the Industrial Revolution
4.0 and meet employer expectations,
IUMW prioritises industry linkages
through partnerships, collaboration in
research, education, training as well
as intellectual forums and discourse,
in line with the government’s theme
of ‘Education as an Industry (2020-
2025).
Attesting to IUMW’s robust linkages
with business, IUMW is able to call
upon its Industry Advisory Panel (IAP)
for strategic advice on the university’s
education and research activities and
championship of academic-industry
collaboration. IAP members include
distinguished leaders from private
and public sector organisations who
are highly influential and valued for
their expertise and external industry
perspectives.
