The University of Malaya is a public research-based institution which is commonly referred to as UM. It is said to be the oldest and most esteemed university in the country Malaysia. It was founded in 1949 in Singapore with the merger of the Raffles College and King Edward VII College of Medicine. The rapid growth of the university during its first decade of foundation resulted in the establishment of two autonomous divisions in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, respectively. The university was ranked between 301 and 350 in the world university rankings given by Times Higher Education.
In 1959, the University of Malaya was segregated into two divisions. In 1960, the government of the two territories indicated their desire to change the status of the Divisions into that of a national university. The legislation was passed in 1961 and the University of Malaya was established on 1st January 1962. On the other side, the Singapore campus turned into the University of Singapore. In 2012, the Ministry of Higher Education granted autonomous status to the University of Malaya.
At present situated in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, the University of Malaya is categorized into 13 faculties, 3 centers, and 2 academies. These include Faculty of Science, Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Economics and Administration, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Faculty of Business and Accountancy, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Built Environment, Faculty of Education, Centre for Foundation Studies, Cultural Centre, Sports Centre, Academy of Islamic Studies and Academy of Malay Studies. It provides great opportunities for students studying at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The University of Malaya has 2,260 Staff members. There are around 21,055 students including 14,291 undergraduate and 8,134 graduate students at the University. The University has been consistently voted by consumers as the University of Choice by the reader’s Digest Trusted Brand Award exercise since 2007.
